Stem Cell Therapy
Types Of Stem Cells
Stem cells are classified based on their origin, the patient’s needs, and potential.
Origin Based Stem Cells
Somatic Stem Cells
Somatic Stem Cells
Somatic stem cells, also known as adult stem cells, are naturally present in the MSC niches of tissues throughout the body. These cells remain dormant until activated and play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. Because they can be sourced from an individual's own body, they are widely used in regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy.
Embryonic Stem Cells
Embryonic Stem Cells
Embryonic stem cells are derived from early-stage embryos and have the unique ability to transform into any cell type within the body. These cells play a fundamental role in the development of tissues and organs. Although researchers are highly interested in their potential, the use of embryonic stem cells is restricted or prohibited in many countries due to ethical considerations.
Perinatal Stem Cells
Perinatal Stem Cells
Perinatal stem cells are harvested from tissues discarded after birth, such as the placenta, umbilical cord, amniotic membrane, amniotic fluid, and umbilical cord blood. These cells exhibit strong regenerative properties and are gaining interest in therapeutic applications due to their low risk of immune rejection.
Reprogrammed Stem Cells
Reprogrammed Stem Cells
Reprogrammed stem cells, also called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), are adult somatic cells that have been genetically reprogrammed into an embryonic-like state. These cells offer groundbreaking potential for regenerative medicine, personalized therapies, and disease modeling, but challenges such as genetic stability and tumor formation risks remain.
Patient Based Stem Cells
Autologous Stem Cells
Autologous Stem Cells
Autologous stem cells are harvested from a patient’s own healthy stem cells and used to replace damaged bone marrow or tissues. The autologous stem cell transplant, also known as an autologous bone marrow transplant, is widely used in cancer treatments, immune disorders, and regenerative therapies.
Allogenic Stem Cells
Allogenic Stem Cells
Allogenic stem cells are donor-derived stem cells used to replace damaged or diseased bone marrow in conditions such as leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood disorders. Allogeneic bone marrow transplants offer the potential for long-term remission and immune system restoration, though they require compatibility testing to reduce rejection risks.
Xenogenic Stem Cells
Xenogenic Stem Cells
Xenogenic stem cells are sourced from animals and utilized in implantations, transplants, and cellular infusions. While research is ongoing, these stem cells are being explored for their potential in tissue engineering, organ regeneration, and disease treatment.
Potential Based Stem Cells
Totipotent Stem Cells
Totipotent Stem Cells
Totipotent stem cells, often called one-cell embryo cells, have the ability to create an entire organism, making them the most versatile type of stem cell. These cells exist only during the earliest stages of embryonic development and are not used in regenerative therapies due to ethical and research limitations.
Pluripotent Stem Cells
Pluripotent Stem Cells
Pluripotent stem cells can develop into any cell type in the body and are obtained through cell reprogramming techniques. While they offer immense potential, their use in cellular therapies is limited due to concerns over ethical conflicts, genetic instability, and tumor formation risks.
Multipotent Stem Cells
Multipotent Stem Cells
Multipotent stem cells can differentiate into a limited range of cell types within a specific tissue or organ system. They play a key role in wound healing, tissue repair, and immune system regulation. These cells are commonly found in bone marrow, adipose tissue, and other specialized organs.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are highly regenerative and can differentiate into bone, cartilage, muscle, connective tissue, and fat. They are predominantly found in bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord blood and are widely used in orthopedic therapies, cartilage regeneration, and immune modulation.
Hematopoietic Stem Cells
Hematopoietic Stem Cells
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are found in the bone marrow and peripheral blood and are responsible for generating red and white blood cells and platelets. These cells are critical for bone marrow transplants, immune system restoration, and blood disorder treatments.
