Stem cells – a medical revolution

Journal Title: European Journal of Medical Technologies - Year 2015, Vol 13, Issue 4

Abstract

Stem cells represent a large and very diverse category of cells whose purpose is to change from one type of cell to another. They are characterized by stability to an unlimited number of divisions for an indefinite time throughout the life of the organism. Stem cell are undifferentiated cells capable of self- renewing. They are ubiquitous in many tissues and organs of the human body, and some of them are the real regenerative geniuses. At the end of the twentieth century many pioneering discoveries were made that make the potential use of stem cells in the treatment of many diseases more probable. Today, both in Poland and around the world range of treatments is carried out using stem cells. They have become a great tool to meet the timeless human desire to improve the quality and length of life. Used in clinical practice they gave hope to many patients that effective methods of treatment for many diseases so far incurable by traditional methods will be developed. You can certainly say that they are the most powerful tool of modern science.
