What is a stem Cell

What is a Stem Cell?

A special type of "source" or "starter" cell that has the ability to grow into adult tissue.

Stem cells are the foundation for every organ, tissue and cell in the human body. Stem cells may be able to repair or replace damaged tissue, thereby reversing diseases and injuries such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and blood diseases, to name a few.


                         
Are There Different Types of Stem Cell ?

There are two types of stem cells — unlimited stem cells (also known as embryonic stem cells) and limited stem cells (also known as adult stem cells).

Unlimited stem cells are currently obtained with patients' permission from leftover three-day old embryos that would otherwise be discarded from fertility clinics. These embryos are created and exist entirely outside the body. Unlimited stem cells can develop into any kind of cell type or tissue in the body.

Although a patient may need only a few embryos, in the process of creating them, several more are made. The ones which are not implanted in the uterus are eventually discarded. Each year it is estimated that couples undergo 120,000 cycles of fertility treatment using in vitro (outside the body) fertilization (IVF), and from these cycles 7,500 embryos are discarded. Each of these embryos can be used to create a large number of unlimited stem cells.

Limited stem cells are rare cells that can be found in only some developed organs or tissues. Limited stem cells have been successfully used for some time now in bone marrow transplants (either with bone marrow stem cells or umbilical cord blood stem cells) and skin and hair transplants.
There is also another potential way to get embryonic stem cells using an unfertilized egg and an adult cell from the patient. However, this is still being studied (known as somatic cell nuclear transfer or therapeutic cloning).

 EmCell

EmCell clinic is a world renowned stem cell treatment research facility located in Kiev, Ukraine. Founded in 1994, EmCell is a private clinic that has gained international recognition and reputation in the field of embryonic stem cell research and clinical applications.

The EmCell Therapy Clinic is one of the world's largest embryonic stem cell transplantation centers that addresses various conditions and disease processes. Embryonic stem cell research and development continues to offer curative effects, which is one of the most promising aspects of cell research and therapies.

Focusing on effective prevention and antiaging programs, and devising and developing treatments and follow-up for complex clinical cases, the EmCell clinic focuses on indications as well as contraindications for severe acquired and genetic disease processes that are caused by decreased cell counts.

For nearly two decades, staff at EmCell have treated thousands of patients, performed over 6,000 embryonic or fetal stem cell transplants, and treated individuals from around the world, including the United States, Russia, Germany, and Poland.

The EmCell clinic focuses their attention on embryonic stem cell transplantation related transplantation of the basic building blocks of all tissues and organs, not the tissues or organs themselves, that are responsible for various functions in the body and provide the basic structures for musculature, blood, immune system, nervous and other body systems.
