Stem Cell Therapy: How Is Stem Cell Therapy Transforming Regenerative Medicine?
Stem cell therapy uses specialized cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation to repair damaged tissues and restore function. These therapies are promising for conditions such as spinal cord injury, heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are commonly studied due to their regeneration potential. Stem cells can promote healing by replacing damaged cells, reducing inflammation, and releasing growth factors that support tissue repair.
Clinical applications continue expanding, with ongoing trials testing stem cell treatments for stroke recovery, corneal regeneration, and immune system disorders. Safety, ethical considerations, and regulatory oversight remain essential to ensure responsible use.
As research advances, stem cell therapy is expected to play a major role in personalized medicine, offering targeted, long-term solutions for chronic and previously untreatable conditions.
