Stem cell therapy depends on the use of cells that have not received a function in the body yet and which have a large if not unlimited potential of regeneration and evolution into cells with specialized tasks. This process of conversion from unspecialized to specialized is known as differentiation or specialization. Most of the time, stem cell transplantation serves for regenerative medicine in the case of patients with serious injuries that have impaired their body motion and functions. Imagine what this means for the recovery of spinal cord injuries!

In 2004, a great success case marked the evolution of stem cell therapy when a team of Korean researchers used stem cells taken from umbilical cord blood and treated a patient who was immobilized because of a spinal cord injury. Presently, the woman has no difficulties walking, after nineteen years of sufferance. The stem cell therapy was effective as it was simple. Another major treatment in this medical domain is that of heart diseases. People worldwide can turn to experimental medicine to treat their heart problems, on the condition that they be able to bear the costs of the intervention.

The blood cells formation is another territory with great advancements for stem cell therapy. Because of the cancer treatments or the cancerous diseases that attack the blood, regeneration of the specific cells is very difficult if not impossible. Moreover, the administration of very powerful medication for the reduction of tumors further damages the quality of the blood by killing the rapidly regenerating cells. The use of stem cell therapy for the improvement of the blood condition is one of the first merits of stem cell research and medicine. The most common procedure involved is the bone marrow transplant from a donor to a patient.

Even though the applications of stem cell therapy extend to pretty much any injury, damage or disease that affects the human body, we’ll only mention one other treatment possibility considered pretty revolutionary. Stem cells could be the solution for hair loss or baldness because they can take over the function of the cells in the hair follicles that for some reason have failed to regenerate from a certain moment onwards. This stem cell therapy requires the collection of stem cells from healthy follicles and their transplant into the skin to regenerate the hair. Similar applications are available with various other treatments depending on the injury.
