Stem cells therapies to treat Parkinson.s disease
Stem-cell research is a new frontier in medicine. REsearchers are seeking ways to create stem-cell based therapies to treat or cure illnesses such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, heart disease and spinal cord injuries. But the real world application, if they occur are years away.
Stem cells are difference from other cells in the body. When most cells divide, they produce two identical dauther cells, not so with stem cells, Some stem cells become specialised for example cells of the skin or heart muscle and some remains stem cells, replenishing the stem cell pool. Because some stem cells change into specialised cells, researchers believe they may be useful in repairing tissues damaged by disease, aging or injury. Sten cells are not all the same. Different stem cells can be derived from embryos, umbilical- cord blood and the plancenta and adult tissues.
Embryonic stem cells come from human eggs fertilised in vitro out of the body as part of infertility treatment. Some Embroyos may remains after a women become pregnant, and are provided for research with the concent of the donors. Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into any type of cell in the body.
