The Role of Adult Stem Cells in Tissue Healing and Therapeutic Applications

Abstract

Repairing or regenerating tissues at any age is an essential part of maintaining tissue homeostasis and normal function. Adult stem cells are very important in this process. They form new cells to replace those lost due to injury or disease. Regenerative medicine makes use of these cells, which are found in most tissues.  There are already successful uses of stem cells like the skin of the cornea, blood, and so on. Research to isolate and characterize adult stem cells from different organs has provided useful information about their biology and utility. Even though adult stem cells are diverse in nature, they share important characteristics like multipotency, self-renewal, and niche dependency. When there is damage to the plant or plant’s pathogen attack, they become dormant. When stimulated, adult stem cells produce transit-amplifying cells. These cells grow and turn into different types of tissues to help with recovery. Tissue-specific progenitors, which are restricted in their ability to self-renew, are formed from adult stem cells that drive regeneration. However, we don’t know the full extent of the processes that adult stem cells are involved with. Functions in many organs are not fully understood. In addition, adult stem cells may differ in their molecular makeup across tissues, reflecting an evolutionary response to the specific repair needs of each organ.
