Bone marrow is used to treat cancer patients with conditions like leakaemia and lymphoma. It is one of the stem-cell therapy and is widely used. What is stem-cell therapy? In simple words, Use of stem-cells to prevent a disease. Stem-cell therapy is still under research and scientists are trying to improve its variants by deriving other types of therapies. The end goal of all the researches based on stem cell is to find treatment for neurodegenerative diseases, other types of conditions like heart, diabetes etc. There is a huge scope of stem-cell therapy in future and can help save and improve thousands of people lives. Some of the reasons are:
Neurodegeneration
An adult brain contains neural stem-cells which is divided multiple times to maintain stem-cell numbers. These cells has the ability to migrate themselves inside the brain without knowing. Activation of these neural stem-cells can help in neuro and behavioural recovery.
Brain and Spinal Cord Injury
Stroke and traumas can lead to brain injury causing cell death and thus causing less number of neutrons. Stem-cells can help a brain injury by artificially injecting the neuro stem-cells in the brain and recovering its health again. It has also been found useful in spinal cord cases.
Growth of Hair Cells
According to a research, specific stem cells like embryonic stem cells can help regain hairs. Also, it has been reported in re-growing cholera hair cells.
Blindness and Vision Impairment
Researchers have been successfully transplanting stem cells into damaged eyes in order to restore vision since 2003. The vision is regained with the help from other people like patients, relatives to others by donating a few of their cornea stem cells and help other regain their vision.
We have only explored only 5% of Stem-cells and still benefits are huge. Transplantation of stem cell and artificially injecting them in other patients is a big things and can help thousands of people to recover from their conditions. Just think about what could happen if we can reach 90% or even 100%, it can greatly help people to recover from any condition easily, effectively and quickly. May be in future we are able to replace all the dead cells and make human immortal. Well if possible it is not the right thing to do but still you can now have a broad view of this technology.
