Different Kind Product of Stem Cells

There were a lot of stem cell products in the market. They used word “stem cell” for increase their marketing, but we are not sure there is a real stem cell. Some product only contains growth factors. Patients need to know what the stem cell is? We need to know how it work in our body. We have to know the difference between stem cell, stromal vascular fraction and growth factor. Therefore, we can use the product accord to the problem and matching with our expectation. The two defining characteristics of a stem cell are perpetual self-renewal and the ability to differentiate into a specialized adult cell type. There are two major classes of stem cells: pluripotent that can become any cell in the adult body, and multipotent that are restricted to becoming a more limited population of cells. Cell sources, characteristics, differentiation and therapeutic applications are discussed. Stem cells have great potential in tissue regeneration and repair but much still needs to be learned about their biology, manipulation and safety before their full therapeutic potential can be achieved
