• THE HISTORY .
• DEFINITION OF STEM CELLS .
• SOURCES OF STEM CELLS .
• ADVANTAGES.
• DISEASES THAT TREATED BY STEM CELLS .
• CONDITION THAT COULD BE TRATED IN FUTURE
.
• SUMMARY .
THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL
CORD BLOOD TRASNSPLANT
WAS PERFORMED IN 1988
BY DR.E.GLUCKMAN.
STEM CELLS ARE REGARDED AS THE
MASTER CELLS OF THE BLOOD OR
IMMUNE SYSTEM .
THEY HAVE TWO DIFFERENT
CHARACTRISTICS:
1) THE ABILITY TO
GO THROUGH
NUMEROUS
CELLL DIVISION
WHILE REMAINING
UNCHAGED.
2) THE ABILITY TO
CHANGE
INTO ANY MATURE
CELL TYPE.
1.BONE MARROW .
2.PERIPHERAL BLOOD.
3.UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD.
ADVANTAGES:
• THE COLLECTION IS EASY, PAINLESS & COST
LESS.
• CAN BE USED TO TREAT LIFE THREATINENIG
CONDITIONS .
• BEING A MATCH FOR SIBLINGS AND OTHER
FAMILY MEMBERS .
• LESS LIKELY TO CARRY VIRAL INFECTIONS.
1. HEMOGLOBINOPATHIES /BLOOD
DISORDERS.
2. BONE MARROW FAILURE
SYNDROMES.
3. INBORN ERRORS OF METABOLISM.
4. IMMUNODEFICIENCIES.
1. MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS.
2. TYPE 1 DIABETES.
3. TESTICULAR CANCER.
4. TO REGENERATE THE HEART
FOLLOWING A MYOCARDIAL
INFARCTION.

Stem cells are delivered to the heart through an intracoronary
catheter.
Once the stem cells have reached areas of infarcted myocardium,
they may improve contractility by differentiating into functional
cardiac myocytes and improve perfusion by releasing cytokines that
induce angiogenesis.
• A BABY’S UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD IS
ONE OF THE RICHEST SOURCES OF
STEM CELLS.
• STEM CELLS CAN BE USED TO TREAT
LIFE – THREATENING CONDITION.
• THE PROCESS ONLY TAKES 10
MINUTES.
• IT’S EASY , PAINLESS , AND HARMLESS
TO BOTH MOTHER AND BABY.
