Stem Cells Treatment A New Hope for Patients

The stem cells and their potential applications for treating various debilitating diseases have proved to be a great medical achievement. The rapid technical advancements have substantially attracted many general clinicians, scientific and public attention. In this regard, the clinical applications of stem cells treatment can continue to expand in the near future; as the safe and effective treatments are always in demand.

Stem cells treatment is a procedure to treat variety of deadly diseases, such as cancer for which no cure available conventionally.  Stem cells are the beginner cells, which are isolated from the body at any stage depending upon their ability to differentiate. These cells are needed for survival by the organ, whenever they are in a traumatic situation. These stem cells can be exploited for their characteristic property to regenerate specific cells. However, with the progression of disease, it is very hard for these resident stem cells to cope with the requirement and hence external supply of stem cells can be effective for restoring the damage function back to some extent. Stem cells treatment is based on the basic principal that stem cells are isolated either from autologous sources such as bone marrow or adipose tissue or from allogenic matched donor, processed in the laboratory for further enrichment of cells and infuse back at the site of injury. Once back in the body, these cells have the capacity to fine tune the immune system, regulate the production of growth factors and initiate the process of healing.

Stem cells treatment has been broadly classified into two categories autologous treatment and allogenic treatment. Autologous treatment specifies patients own stem cells sources and is safer as compared to other counterparts. Whereas allogenic stem cells treatment employs cells isolated from matched donors and can initiate a risk of immune rejection. However, with the help of cutting edge technology it is now very easy to find a matched donor with the minimum or no risk of rejection even in allogenic infusion of cells. Bone marrow stem cells transplantation is in fact widely accepted for treating leukaemia and other blood borne disorders such as thalassemia, additionally theses cells are as well tried on other conditions such as neurodegenerative disorders, liver diseases, and orthopaedics and are found to be safe and effective for autologous applications.

The question now arises is that which are the conditions that are being treated with the help of stem cells treatment and the answer is, it is just a one stop solution for all the major problems such as cancer, loss of vision, cosmetics, paralysis, joint disorders, etc. The entire procedure of stem cells treatment can be broken down into some simple processes such as collection of the source, isolation of stem cells under asceptic conditions and infusion back into the body through right way. It is all in all a one day affair with no hospitalization. The treated patients have been confirming noticeable improvements within 8 weeks of infusion, depending upon the severity of condition.

Thus, stem cells treatment can definitely be an alternative, effective solution to all the major illness without much difficulty; if exploited in a right direction and with a right strategy.
