Stem Cell Therapy Guide description

Stem Cell Therapy Treatment Guide helps you become informed with the latest stem cell treatments and educates you on what is scientifically proven, and what is controversial or maybe a scam in the medical stem cell treatment industry.

Stem cells are the starting point from which the rest of the body grows.

The adult human body is made up of hundreds of millions of different types of cells specialized for different tasks. Nerve cells for the brain and nervous system; muscle cells; red blood cells to carry oxygen; white blood cells to fight infection; gut cells to absorb nutrients; cells to make hormones, cells to break down toxins; cells to store fat; cells to make hair; cells to line blood vessels.

All of these highly specialized cells have to grow from unspecialized stem cells. Stem cells produce new cells by dividing. In the right conditions, these new cells can then continue to divide and differentiate into specialized cells. Stem cells can also divide to produce new stem cells to replace themselves. Stem cells have three properties that set them apart from other cells:

1. They are self-replicating. Most body cells can go through a limited number of divisions and then die. Stem cells can continue to divide indefinitely.
2. They are undifferentiated. This means that they do not have any of the specialized features associated with most of the cells in the body -- such as muscle, nerves, fat.
3. They can divide and develop into cells of other types, to a greater or lesser degree.
