The stem cell therapy has become so simple that no major surgery is required. Stem cell forms the building blocks of life. These versatile cells have ability to grow into any kind of tissue skin, heart, liver or any other body organs. These cells can be created from embryos umbilical cord blood, from adults patients own body like bone marrow, blood etc can also produce stem cells. Stem cells works by repairing the damaged part of the body. They can cure the cardiovascular disorders like strokes, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, liver degeneration and eye injuries on the basis of their utilization the stem cells can be broadly divided into three types (1) Tot potent: placenta (2) Pluripotent: it can turn into any cell except placenta (3) Multipotent: they have limited use as they can transform into only certain type of cells. These cells can be frozen at minus270 degree Celsius in liquid nitrogen and it can be used 50 years after a person is born to cure diseases that may develop due to genetic predisposition. In most of the cases these cells are infiltrated or directly injected intravenously into the patients affected area. Scientist has also come up with the ethical question of creating an embryo to extract stem cells and then destroy it by utilizing a therapeutic cloning process.
In an innovative progress, 2006 AUS Biotech Company, advanced cell technology has discovered a new method of creating stem cells without destroying the embryo. The procedure works by taking an embryo at a very early stage of development and removing a single cell, which can be used for spawning and embryonic stem cell lined with only one cell removed, the rest of the embryo retains its full strength for development. Stem cell treatment and stem cell gene therapy are leading the way to anti-aging technologies and cure. Stem cell therapies are of the foremost of stem cells study in this type of research. Therapeutic cloning involves a nuclear transfer of somatic stem cells.
