How do adult stem cells heal diseases?
Posted in Frequently Asked Questions |
These adult stem cells are known as "progenitor cells". This means that they remain dormant (doing nothing), unless they find a certain level of tissue damage. Thus, when a person has a damaged cell or organ, regenerative stem cells tend to go in this area and start the healing process.
We still do not know if they just change the type of fabric needed to repair injury or if they send signals that induce repair by another mechanism, either way, it is safe to say that there are multiple animal models and a plethora of evidence indicating that adding fresh new human stem cells in the blood show improvement and even treatment of diseases that were once thought of as incurable.
