Embryonische Stammzellen

stem cells

Stem cell research has progressed since its discovery in the 1960s. The use of stem cells from the bone marrow to treat leukemia is well known and an effective form of treatment. Stem cells are generally referred to as body cells that can make copies of themselves and differentiate into different cell types or tissues. Depending on the type of stem cell and how it is manipulated, they have the potential to develop into any tissue (embryonic stem cells) or into specific tissue types (adult stem cells). Stem cells are able to generate daughter cells, which in turn have stem cell properties.

blood stem cells

Blood stem cells are also called hematopoietic stem cells. Like other stem cells, these can renew or copy themselves. They can also produce different subtypes of specialized blood cells: both red blood cells and the numerous white blood cells that are important for the body's immune system.
The company IMMUMEDIC Limited reads in specially approved laboratories  Growing blood stem cells so that they can be used for various functions to permanently cure diseases. For this we need the whole blood of the affected patient. This rules out the possibility of rejection in the immune system. Foreign stem cells, as in leukemia diseases, where foreign stem cells from the blood or bone marrow are also used, can lead to rejection.
