Stem Cell Therapies

First of all, if you don't know what stem cells are here's a brief introduction. Stem cells are these cells are found in cells, and are commonly found in multi-cellular organisms. Their purpose is to regenerate a dead cell by turning from a regular stem cell to a certain cell that would replace the dead cell. Stem cells wait for signals to determine what they're going to become. When the cell recieves the signal, it would turn on certain genes and make new proteins, this is the differentiating phase of the cell. The cell will multiply until the differentiating process is done. It will then turn to the cell it was supposed to become.

This ability of theirs can be used for stem cell therapy which can be used to replace deceased cells with new healthy ones. Stem cell therapy is used to signal the cell to differentiate to a certain cell that's needed. This may sound very good and might be the answer to curing any disease in the world. But, we still haven't studied stem cells through and more research is required especially the study of their behaviour. Scientists today are trying to study stem cell behaviour so that they could control how the cell would turn out to be.

Stem Cell Therapy can have miraculous works for certail people with missing body parts so they would be able the things they weren't able to do, but the price for missing body parts would be huge since its a long process. There are still a lot of research to be done because of the possibilities of defects to the cells.

Stem Cell Therapy is a great solution to certain diseases and works miraculously, But there's still a lot to be done to perfect this solution.
