2. Adult stem cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_stem_cell

   The main functions of adult stem cells are to replace cells that are at risk of possibly dying as a result of disease or injury and to maintain a state of homeostasis within the cell. [2] There are three main methods to determine if the adult stem cell is capable of becoming a specialized cell. [2]

3. Stem-cell therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_therapy

   Some preliminary clinical trials achieved only modest improvements in heart function following the use of bone marrow stem cell therapy. [52] [53] Stem-cell therapy for the treatment of myocardial infarction usually makes use of autologous bone marrow stem cells, but other types of adult stem cells may be used, such as adipose-derived stem ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell

   Adult stem cells are also used in veterinary medicine to treat tendon and ligament injuries in horses. [60] The use of adult stem cells in research and therapy is not as controversial as the use of embryonic stem cells, because the production of adult stem cells does not require the destruction of an embryo.

5. Mesenchymal stem cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesenchymal_stem_cell

   Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), also known as mesenchymal stromal cells or medicinal signaling cells, are multipotent stromal cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including osteoblasts (bone cells), chondrocytes (cartilage cells), myocytes (muscle cells) and adipocytes (fat cells which give rise to marrow adipose tissue).

6. Induced pluripotent stem cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_pluripotent_stem_cell

   Induced pluripotent stem cells were first generated by Shinya Yamanaka and Kazutoshi Takahashi at Kyoto University, Japan, in 2006. [1] They hypothesized that genes important to embryonic stem cell (ESC) function might be able to induce an embryonic state in adult cells.

7. Regenerative medicine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_medicine

   Adult stem cells were extracted from the patient's bone marrow, grown into a large population, and matured into cartilage cells, or chondrocytes, using an adaptive method originally devised for treating osteoarthritis. The team then seeded the newly grown chondrocytes, as well as epithelial cells, into a decellularised (free of donor cells ...
