Abstract:

Stem cells are a form of undifferentiated cell that has the potential to proliferate (self-renew), emerge from a single cell (clonal), and develop into different types of cells and tissues (potent). There are several sources of stem cells of varied potency.Although stem cell research has grown at an exponential rate, medicinal applications have moved considerably more slowly. The study is currently focused on understanding embryonic, adult, and inducible pluripotent stem cells. Adult stem cell research translation has demonstrated a decisive benefit that is larger than the present standard of care in the field of cardiovascular medicine. The future of stem cell research and therapy will continue to open up new diagnostic, therapeutic, and tissue regeneration pathways.In cellular treatment, stem cells can be employed to repair damaged cells or rebuild tissues. Furthermore, stem cells have advanced our understanding of development as well as disease causation. Cell lines that are particular to a disease can also be grown and employed in medication research.Despite considerable improvements in stem cell biology, ethical concerns about embryonic stem cells, tumour growth, and rejection restrict their applicability. However, several of these constraints are being overcome, which might lead to significant advancements in illness management. This article provides an introduction to the world of stem cells, including its definition, origin, and categorization, as well as their uses in regenerative medicine.
