Stem cells and its use

Stem cells represent undifferentiated structures. Stem cells form more mature cells of different tissues in the process of growing. This depends on which biologically active compounds (growth factors) influence them, as well as on the presence of other organs and the number of tissues. These features of stem cells make stem cell therapy a viable treatment solution in healthcare. The most widespread use of stem cells has been in transplantology.

There are several types of stem cells and their classification depends on the place they have been taken from and the stage of their maturity:

1️⃣ Embryonic cells - are taken from the embryo before it is implanted into the uterine mucosa. 

2️⃣ Fetal cells - are found in the fetus, they are obtained after an abortion is performed for medical reasons or from umbilical cord blood. 

3️⃣ Postnatal cells - these structures are in the human body after birth. 

The main purpose of using stem cells in various fields of medicine is as a replacement of damaged tissues (transplantation), which includes several methods:

🔹 Transplantation of red bone marrow

🔹 Matrix-induced chondrogenesis for restoring the cartilage of the articular surface

🔹 Growth of the retina for implantation in ophthalmology

🔹 Restoring nerves

🔹 Vascular transplantation

🔹 Obtaining the structures of the bronchopulmonary system on a special matrix, followed by implantation

These latest discoveries of cell therapy are not used in most developing countries. Therefore, patients have to travel abroad to obtain high-tech medical care. Germany has become one of the popular destinations for medical tourism. Stem cells for the treatment of various pathologies have been successfully used here for a long time already.
