Stem cells- The Future of Youth 
Beautiful young people are gifted by nature, but beautiful old people are works of science! 
We become astonished to see a 70 year old, who gets up early in the morning, doing his 
regular share of duties. It also must be a genuine thrill to celebrate one’s 100th birthday! All 
of us wish to live longer, but who looks forward to getting old? Every one is hopeful to be 
vigorous right up until the very end!` 
Thus, from the ancient era, people have tried to understand the process of aging. Every 
culture has a some sort of mythological story to explain how one can control aging and look 
eternally young! Over the years, theories about aging have evolved and faded away, but the 
fact of aging, what is happening at the cellular level and what can be done to turn years back 
at that point remain rich for exploration! It is these musing that has provided with the spark 
necessary to ignite a scientist to know what happens as we age! 
Aging generally in simpler words is a 
complex biological process involving the 
progressive exhaustion of number of 
cells! What is the Cell? Early in the 
history of evolution, life prevailed as a 
single cell! With the evolution in the 
following millennia, these cells become a 
multicellular entity by simply splitting 
into many specialized helper cells, to 
help the animal compete in feeding and 
reproduction! Thus the main initial cells 
became what we called as the “ Stem 
Cells” and the helper cells serving these 
stem cells are known as the tissue specific adult body cells! Thus the structural integrity, 
functional maintenance and the genetic attributes of each and every organ of our body are 
governed by these tissue specific adult body cells by constantly receiving and sending some 
signals to each other and to the brain. Whereas their number has been entrusted by the 
reserved quota of stem cells present in every organ! In a broader sense, aging reflects 
slowing down or altering these signals to exhibit some structural and functional defects in us. 
This explains why do we notice some harmless cosmetic changes such as gray hair or 
wrinkles along with the fair amount of physical decline such as loss of stamina, vitality as we 
age. 
These days, we can hardly turn off our television or computer without being attacked by the 
advertisements, trying to convince us about the power of a pill that will make us live longer 
or a cream to restore back the youthful glow or appearance! Although, these ways to stop or 
reverse the process of aging have proved to be mere obsession and nothing else! In contrast, 
the hard work of many researchers worldwide has turned this obsession into reality by finding 
out an anti aging elixir to improve a person’s ability to live longer, healthier. The elixir is
known as the “Stem cells”,as explained earlier, these stem cells are the basic cells responsible 
to give rise to many adult cells and maintaining their numbers in the body. With the new 
inventions in biotechnology, it is now possible to guide these stem cells technically to 
become required cells of the body. Thus, they can be skin cells to restore back the same 
young skin or any organ specific cells to get back the same functionality. 
The key for the anti aging is present right inside all 
of us. We all have some untouched sources of stem 
cells, such as Bone Marrow or Adipose Tissue! 
These sources can be extracted from our body, 
processed in the lab to enrich the number of stem 
cells and cells can be implanted back into the body 
at the targeted site to regenerate lost or diseased 
cells. 
Thus an emerging area of research called as “Stem 
Cells” opens the door to a scientific blending of two 
words that for decades were thought of as totally 
separate and those are Nature and Nurture! To be 
more specific cells and the environment! They have 
opened up the possibility to reverse age related chronic degeneration and bring the body back 
to its original health and vigour.
