STEM CELL TECHNOLOGY AND ITS TYPES
WHAT IS STEM CELL TECHNOLOGY
Stem cell develop into different types of cels in the body
It has great potential in medicine and research for regenerating damaged tissues
Stem cell technology uses stem cellto develop treatments for diseasea and injuries
APPLICATIONS / BENEFITS OF STEM CELL TECHNLOGY
Help in drug discovery and testing
Advances medical research and understanding of diseases
Personalized medicine and gene therapy
Regenerates and repairs damaged tissues and organs
Treats and manages diseases.
TYPES (BASED ON ORIGIN)
INDUCE PLURIPOTENT STEM CELL TECHNOLOGY
Adult cells are reprogrammed to become pluripotent stems cells
Similar to embryonic stem cells bur avoid ethical issues
Used in disease modeling, drug testing and potential therapies
PERINATAL STEM CELL TECHNOLOGY
Uses stem cell from perinatal sources like umbilical cord blood, plancenta and amniotic fluid.
Have strong potential to develop into various cell types
Used in treating blood disorders,immune diseases and research
ADULT STEM CELL TECHNOLOGY
Uses stem cell found in adult tissues like bone marrow transplat and tissue repair
Can develop into limted types of cell
Used in treatment like bone marrow transplant and tissue repiar
CANCER STEM CELL TECHNOLOGY
Focuses on cancer stem cells that help tumors grow and spread
Used to understand cancer progression and develop targeted therapies
Important for improving cancer treatment outcomes
EMBRYONIC STEM CELL TECHNOLOGY
Can develop into almost ant tyoe of cell in the body
Used in research for understanding development, disease and drug testing
Uses stem cell from early embryo
TYES (BASED ON POTENCY)
2.PlLURIPOTENT STEM CELL
Example: Embryonic stem cells
Used in regenerative medicine
Form almost all body cell types
3.MULTIPOTENT STEM CELLS
Example: Hematopoietic stem cells
Blood cell production & tissue repair
Form related cell types only
4.OLIGOPOTENT STEM CELLS
Form a few closely related cells
Example: Lymphoid stem cells
Immune system development
5.UNIPOTENT STEM CELLS
Form one specific cell type
Example: Muscle (satellite) cells
Tissue maintenance & repair
1.TOTIPOTENT STEM CELLS
Example: Zygote (early embryo)
Complete organism development
Form all body and placental cells
CHARACTERISTICS
Regeneration
Differential
Self - Renewal
Plasticity
