Importance of Stem Cells

The more medicine advances, the more we are aware of how much still needs to be known and investigated in order to know everything that surrounds us and, above all, our own organism and all that it implies in terms of its parts, both obvious and microscopic, and how they are all interrelated. The slightest variation can mean illness, injury, infection, or death.

Today, one of the branches that is receiving the most investment private and public, as far as investigation refers to, is the one referring to stem cells. When we refer to this concept, we are talking about cells that can divide, maintaining a part of it equal to the original and another part, depending on a series of conditions, and can be modified.

The importance of stem cells is that, once treated, they can be the basis for ending many diseases and for generating in a laboratory very interesting alternatives for the recovery of chronic patients, specifically those who need transplants of one of their organs to be able to continue living.

The key is to use the healthy stem cells of the patient himself, the patient, to generate treatments that cure diseases, that until now they needed donations, without their body rejecting them, since we would be using a part of the body of the patient. On the other hand, more and more advanced research is being carried out in which these types of cells are used to generate organs. vital or different parts of the body so that, once they are prepared, they can be transplanted into the donor's body, which would avoid all kinds of rejection.

We are still in an early stage of the investigations. However, the steps that are being taken are increasingly gigantic, not only because of the money that is being invested, but also because of the new equipment and Applications of these for the investigation of these cells.

The gist of this is that in a period of time, less than was initially expected, the results are more than positive and can help treatments for many diseases and/or transplants much more effective and, above all, make much more effective and definitive cures, something that until now was based more on compatibilities or percentages.
