🌱 Stem Cells: The Future of Regenerative Medicine
🌱 Stem Cells: The Future of Regenerative Medicine Regenerative medicine is one of the fastest-growing fields in modern biology, and at the center of this revolution are stem cells — the body’s natural repair system. These unique cells have the potential to transform healthcare by healing damaged tissues, treating chronic diseases, and even growing new organs. 🧬 What Are Stem Cells? Stem cells are special cells that have two exceptional abilities: Self-renewal – They can divide and make more stem cells. Differentiation – They can develop into many specialized cell types such as muscle cells, nerve cells, blood cells, and more. Because of these capabilities, stem cells are essential for growth, repair, and regeneration. 🔍 Types of Stem Cells 1. Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) Derived from early embryos. Can become any cell type (pluripotent). Highly powerful but surrounded by ethical concerns. 2. Adult Stem Cells (ASCs) ...
