The key role of adult stem cells: therapeutic perspectives
16 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The origin, function and physiology of totipotent embryonic cells are configured to construct organs and create cross-talk between cells for the biological and neurophysiologic development of organisms. Adult stem cells are involved in regenerating tissues for renewal and damage repair. FINDINGS: Adult stem cells have been isolated from adult tissue, umbilical cord blood and other non-embryonic...
