Stem cells

Stem Cells: clear overview, key topics, and practical navigation to related guides.

Bone Marrow Transplant: Hematopoietic Cells and the Procedure

Cell transplantation began not with embryonic stem cell derivatives, but with bone marrow transplants. The first studies on experimental bone marrow transplantation, nearly 50 years ago, began with an analysis of animal survival after total irradiation followed by an infusion of hematopoietic bone marrow cells.

Yolk sac hematopoietic cells: role in blood development

Obviously, the different proliferative and differentiating potentials of hematopoietic stem cells are determined by the peculiarities of their ontogenetic development, since during the process of ontogenesis in humans even the localization of the main areas of hematopoiesis changes.

Umbilical cord blood stem cells: storage and use

Umbilical cord blood is a good source of hematopoietic stem cells in terms of proliferative potential and repopulation capabilities of hematopoietic cells.

Hematopoietic stem cells: what they are and where they are used

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), like mesenchymal progenitor cells, are characterized by multipotency and give rise to cell lines, the final elements of which form the formed elements of the blood, as well as a number of specialized tissue cells of the immune system.

Mesenchymal stem cells: applications

Among regional stem cells, a special place is occupied by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), the derivatives of which make up the stromal matrix of all organs and tissues of the human body.

Neural stem cells: prospects

It has been established that neural stem cells express glial acidic fibrillary protein, which among mature cells of the neural lineage is retained only on astrocytes.

Cell transplantation: risks, limitations and complications

Regenerative plastic medicine is based on the clinical implementation of the totipotent and pluripotent properties of embryonic and progenitor stem cells, which allow the creation in vitro and in vivo of specified cell lines that repopulate damaged tissues and organs of a sick person.

Embryonic stem cells: what are they?

The discovery of embryonic stem cells did not arise by chance, but emerged from fertile ground in scientific research in developmental biology. The term "stem cell" was introduced into medicine in 1908 at the congress of the Hematological Society in Berlin by Alexander Maximov, referring to hematopoietic cells.

Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cells: An Overview

Today, few practicing physicians are unaware of the development of a new approach to treating severe diseases previously incurable by traditional and alternative medicine. This is regenerative medicine, based on the regenerative potential of stem cells.
