INTRODUCTION

• Q What are stem cells?
• Stem cells are mother cells that has the ability
  to self renew or to develop into another type of
  cells.
• Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells
  that can differentiate into specialized cells and
  can divide to produce more stem cells.
• Stem cells found in most of the tissues or
  organs of the body.

SOURCE OF STEM CELLS

• Stem cells come from a variety of sources
  including blood, bone marrow,umbilicial cord
  blood,and adipose tissue.
• Stem cells are found and retrieved from various
  parts of the body.

6
TYPES OF STEM CELLS

• The two main types of stem cells are
• Adult stem cells
• Embryonic stem cells

7
Adult stem cells

• Adult stem cells are found all over the body
  after embryonic development.
• They are found in inside the various type of
  tissues such as the blood ,skeletal muscles
  ,bore marrow blood vessels, liver and skin.
• The adult stem cells can renew itself and can
  differentiate to yield some or all of the major
  specialized cell types of the tissue or
  organ.e.g. hematopoietic stem cells.

8
Embryonic stem cells

• Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are stem cells
  derived from the undifferentiated inner mass
  cells of a human embryo.
• Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent.they are
  able to grow into all derivatives of the three
  primary germ layers ectoderm, endoderm and
  mesoderm.

EMBRYONIC STEM(ES) CELLS
10
APPLICATIONS

• It is transplanted routinely to treat a variety
  of blood and bone marrow diseases,blood
  cancers,and immune disorders etc.
• Stem cells have the ability to replace damaged
  cells and treat disease.
• Stem cells are use for stroke traumatic brain
  injury learning defects.
