Some researches on Stem cells
Even if stem cells and the researches around stem cells are too often associated with human cloning, it is very important to use them and do as much research as possible on them as they can help cure diseases.
A lot of companies have understood that and that is why we see a lot more stem cells bank and cord blood bank doing stem cell collection, cord blood collection but also stem cell storage as well as cord blood storage.
It exists different types of stem cells. The one that most people speak about and that is in the center of the debate is the embryonic stem cells. It is very often necessary to use an embryo to get these cells, which is the reason why a lot of people are against it.
On the other hand, most of the time, it is adult stem cells that are used by researchers and doctors to help cure patients. These stem cells can be extracted from children or adult and have the ability to renew themselves and generate all types of cells that come from the organ used on the first place.
The advantage of stem cells coming from the cord blood is that it is considered almost as the purest part from which the stem cells can be taken and then can be used in any part of our body.
Researchers have also recently found that there could be another and simpler way to get some stem cells that would help to form any type of tissue on the human body of a patient. It seems that blood simply taken with a needle could be pushed toward producing stem cells, which is a much simpler and faster method than the usual stem cells harvesting methods.
A lot of people suffering from diabetes or cancers for instance could be saved everyday thanks to the results from doctors and researchers as more and more studies show us what could be done and the powers of stem cells and how they could be used in the human body of a sick patient.
Studies involving stem cells give results every year and have started showing results when used on human patients. That is why more and more people use stem cell banks and cord blood bank to get their baby’s stem cells or the cord blood stored. And that is why we can see more and more stem cell banks.
