CAPABLE OF DIFFERENTIATION INTO
DIFFERENT CELL TYPES
Adapted from Caltech 2000
Where are stem cells found?
1. Embryos (ESC)
2. “Adult Stem Cells” (ASC)...
Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs)
وقع الرئيس الميركي أمرا تنفيذيا يرفع حظرا على التمويل الفدرالي لبحاث الخليا الجذعية الجنينية،
وقال إن القرارات المتعلقة بالبحث العلمي يجب أن تبنى على الوقائع ل اليديولوجيا ،في انتقاد صريح

Adult Stem Cells” (ASC)
• Umbilical Cords
• Adult tissue such as:
• neural (brain)
• blood
• adipose (fat)
• nose (olfactory cells)
• bone marrow
• mammary gland

What is stem cell transplant?
A stem cell transplant is the infusion
of healthy cells to replace or
regenerate diseased or damaged ones.
Asthma & COPD
Allergies and respiratory conditions such
as asthma &COPD are a prevalent
problem allover the world.
In children these problems are especially
destructive. Their small, developing
bodies aren't always strong enough to
deal with the damage caused by allergies
Stem cell transplant provides hopes for
those ,and for cases with severe COPD.
Stem cells can be helpful through,
ridding the body of allergies and at the
same time ,repair lung injury.
How can stem cell therapies treat
allergies?
Stem cells are the building blocks for every
cell in the body.
Stem cell transplants are a kind of
immune therapy that transfers cells instead
of antibodies.
Recent studies showed marked
improvement of allergy after marrow
transplants
Healthy stem cells are transplanted to the
affected areas of the body-in this case, the
immune system.
Once there, they receive messages from
the cells around them and begin to take
on the function of those cells (T&B cells).
They literally become immune system
cells.
They are designed to heal and rebuild,
and they strengthen the immune system
through regeneration.
They do this by mimicking the function
of whatever cells they're sent to heal and
create newer, healthier cells that perform
properly.
