Stem cells are a kind of primitive cells with differentiation and regeneration potential in human body. They have the functions of self replication, multi-directional differentiation and immune regulation. They are closely related to the health and aging of human tissues and organs.
Research shows that stem cells have great potential in damage repair, anti-aging, combating many major diseases and improving human health. A number of clinical studies have shown that it has amazing effects in tissue repair and regeneration. It is a rising star in the field of regenerative medicine.
Stem cells & tissue repair and regeneration
Stem cells can play an important role in the process of tissue repair and regeneration, which is closely related to its differentiation and regeneration ability. Therefore, according to their differentiation ability from high to low, stem cells can be divided into three categories: totipotent stem cells, pluripotent stem cells and single stem cells.
Totipotent stem cells can differentiate into every cell in the human body. They are only found in the first few minutes of human embryo division, such as embryonic stem cells (ES).
Although pluripotent stem cells cannot develop into complete individuals, they have the potential to differentiate into a variety of cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSc).
The number of single stem cells is the largest in the human body, and can only differentiate into one or more closely related cell types, such as neural stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells.
In the human body, mesenchymal stem cells are one of the most widely studied stem cells. These stem cells derived from mesoderm can not only differentiate into various cells from the same germ layer to form muscle tissue and connective tissue, but also differentiate into other cells across the germ layer to form nerve tissue, epithelial tissue, etc.
Therefore, intravenous infusion of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro or local targeted injection of mesenchymal stem cells can greatly increase the ability of tissue regeneration by "homing effect" to make mesenchymal stem cells in the damaged part and help the stem cells in the body together.
Neonatal placenta / umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells are stored for health protection!
Since novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreaks novel coronavirus pneumonia has been initiated in China. The number of patients has increased from 14% to 93% in the early stage of treatment, and more than 200 stem cell therapies have been completed in Wuhan. Internationally, novel coronavirus pneumonia has been approved by the United States and Britain. Stem cells have become an indispensable innovative anti epidemic therapy.
Neonatal placental / umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells have great potential and broad prospects in the field of disease treatment. It has become a new health concept to store this important human biological resource, provide guarantee for future stem cell therapy and escort health.
