Introduction
Stem cell are unique cells that can self-
renew and develop into different
specialized cell types. They play a key
role in growth, repair, and regenerative
medicine
Types of stem cells
● Embryonic stem cells
● Adult stem cells
● Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)
Properties of stem cells
1. Ability to differentiate
2. Self-renewal
3. Potency (Totipotent, Pluripotent,
Multipotent)
Sources of stem cells
1. Bone 3. Adipose
marrow 2. Umbilical tissue
cord blood
Regenerative Medicine
Defination:
Regenerative medicine is a field of medicine that focuses on repairing,
replacing, or regenerating damaged tissues and organs using stem cells,
tissue engineering, or biologics
Goal: repair, replace, and regenerate damaged tissues
Mechanism of stem cells
1. Stem cells work by dividing and differentiating into
specialized cell types.
2. They migrate to damaged tissues and replace lost
or dysfunctional cells.
3. They release growth factors that aid in tissue repair
and reduce inflammation.
4.Some stem cells also self-renew, maintaining their
population for long-term healing
