Since the 1990s, with the emergence and maturity of stem cell technology, stem cell technology has become a hot spot in life science research. A large number of stem cell technologies have been put into clinical application and achieved good results. Let's introduce stem cell research to you by redbert (Beijing) Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Stem cells are self-renewal cells with high proliferation and multidirectional differentiation potential, that is, these cells can maintain their own cell characteristics and size through division, and can further differentiate into various tissue cells, so as to play an active role in tissue repair.

Stem cells are primitive undifferentiated cells existing in human and animal development. On the one hand, they self renew and produce the same progeny cells as their parents, so as to maintain a constant stem cell population. On the other hand, it can enter the differentiation process under certain conditions, produce differentiated progeny cells through asymmetric division, and finally form functional specific tissue types, which plays an important role in tissue repair and metabolism.

1、 Stem cell therapy

So far, nearly 100 clinical trials of MSC have been carried out all over the world. The application of MSc in the treatment of GVHD and autoimmune enteritis is currently in the stage of phase III clinical trial. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved MSCs as a first-line drug in the phase III trial of GVHD, marking the near future of MSCs as a clinical drug.

2、 Basic research

At the basic level, pluripotent stem cell research can help us understand the time of the complex process from fertilized egg to infant development. The key is to determine the determinants of cell development.

3、 Drug research

In drug development, specific stem cells or stem cell derived specific cells can also be used to analyze drug safety, rather than traditional time-consuming and expensive animal experiments.

4、 Organ transplantation

Stem cells may produce new cells, tissues or organs. We need organ transplantation, but the shortage of organs limits the transplantation and causes a lot of pain. Pluripotent stem cells can be stimulated to develop into specific cells. For many diseases, it is a new method to treat many diseases.

In recent 20 years, stem cell research has become a hot spot in life science. Its research content involves almost all biomedical fields of life science. In addition to cell therapy, tissue and organ transplantation plays an important role in gene therapy, and new genes and gene function analysis have been found. Developmental biology models have an important impact on the development of new drugs.
