THE FUTURE OF REGENERATIVE MEDICINE

Stem cells therapy is a futuristic treatment option; getting predominant due to its ability to cure variety of deadly, debilitating disorders, with the theory of regeneration . Medical fraternity is more keen to understand the potential of these mighty cells and the hurdles that need to be taken over, before implementing these options as a routine treatment . In reality, there is no seen or unseen limit to cure different types of diseases . These stem cells have thecapacity to make breakthroughs in any disease; if the route of administration is fine tuned . Many clinical studies are on the way and have been channelized to assess maximum recovery and many of them have already been approved . An autologous application of stem cells , isolated from bone marrow has been the most trusted and widely accepted treatment modality . These were the first stem cells that were isolated from the human body and processed in the laboratory to be utilized for many cancer patients . Since

HOW IS STEM CELL THERAPY USEFUL FOR PARAPLEGICS?

With lot of evidences obtained from various clinical studies, it has now been quite obvious that there is a possibility of paraplegic individuals, with complete paralysis of lower part of the body of walking again. It was not a very long time that some individuals with complete and/or partly paralyzed body were being treated as good as vegetables, being confined to the bed without any possible conventional treatment option. However, with the help of stem cell therapy, it is possible to effectively bring them back to the life. Stem cells are the preliminary cells of our body with the ability to produce multiple cells of different tissues. In a diseased condition, like paralysis neuronal cells are damaged or weakened forcing them to be dormant without any functional contribution. Since, these neurons are not able to conduct any messaging information to their associates, a patient experience a complete or partial vegetative state of the body. Stem cells, when extracted from other
