1, the application potential of many difficult diseases

Stem cells have great potential in many major diseases, such as diabetes, stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and so on. Many studies by scientists have proved that stem cell transplantation can effectively repair organs seriously damaged by diseases or cancer cells. It is believed that when stem cell technology develops to a certain stage in the future, stem cell transplantation will surely become the main means to treat major diseases.

2. Fight cancer

At present, stem cell transplantation can be said to be the most common treatment for blood diseases such as lymphoma and leukemia. With the deepening of research, it is found that mesenchymal stem cells can be used as carriers of cancer treatment drugs, which is helpful for more accurate treatment of drugs. Mesenchymal stem cells can also regulate the immune components in tumor microenvironment to slow down the progress of cancer.

3. Beauty and plastic surgery

The differentiation and regeneration ability of stem cells determine their wide application in the field of wound repair and wound healing, which can effectively promote cartilage, bone, fat, skin tissue engineering and wound healing. Therefore, stem cells have great potential in the field of beauty and plastic surgery, and can also play a role in beauty and anti-aging.

4. Improve infertility.

Studies have shown that stem cells also have great potential in improving infertility. In June this year, stem cell technology successfully helped a woman with premature ovarian failure in China to give birth to a healthy baby. Researchers at Northwestern Medical College also proved for the first time that induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) can be reprogrammed into healthy uterine cells in endometrium, thus improving infertility and reducing pregnancy loss.

5. Reduce the risk of transplantation

In organ transplantation, there are risks such as bleeding, infection and rejection after transplantation. Autologous stem cell transplantation will greatly reduce this risk. In the future, with the deepening and development of stem cell research, patients will be expected to use organs such as the heart derived from autologous stem cells, thus greatly reducing the risk of complications of organ transplantation.

6, help dig the mysteries of the human body

Through stem cells, scientists and researchers can constantly explore how the human body grows and develops. For example, by studying the development of stem cells into different types of cells, scientists can understand how stem cells can prevent or treat diseases. Only by better understanding its mechanism can it be better applied to the treatment of diseases.

7. Stem cells are expected to advance the treatment of diseases to the fetus.

Another potential field of stem cell research is to promote the development of embryo therapy research. On the one hand, embryonic stem cells are pluripotent stem cells, which can differentiate into any type of cells and help repair damaged or diseased cells. On the other hand, by studying this field, researchers can better understand how embryos develop and explore treatment methods, which may advance the treatment of diseases to the fetal period.

8. Develop new drugs for clinical use.

Stem cells can rapidly proliferate and replicate themselves, or differentiate into specific cells, which means that stem cell research can bring many opportunities, especially in the research of disease treatment. These cells can be used in clinical trials to test new drugs and explore new treatments.
