Stem cells are the foundation cells that can differentiate into specialized cell types and can self-renew to produce more stem cells. There are several types of stem cells including embryonic, adult, and induced pluripotent stem cells. Stem cell therapy uses stem cells or their derivatives to replace or repair damaged tissues. Current stem cell therapies include blood stem cell transplants, but challenges remain in isolating the right stem cells, avoiding rejection issues, and ensuring the stem cells integrate properly in the body.
Stem cells are unspecialized cells capable of renewing themselves through cell division, sometimes after long periods of inactivity.
Stem cell therapy is the most advance therapy which use stem cells to treat or prevent a disease or condition.
Properties, types and uses of stem cells are summarized in this presentation.
Stem cells are the promising cells that are capable to differentiate into any deserved cell type. By using stem cells we can generate tissues and even organs that can be used in multiple disciplines as drug testing, as a source used for organ transplantation...etc.

Stem Cell
Facts
What are stem cells?
Stem cells are the foundation cells for every organ and
tissue in our bodies. The highly specialized cells that make
up these tissues originally came from an initial pool of stem
cells formed shortly after fertilization. Throughout our lives,
we continue to rely on stem cells to replace injured tissues
and cells that are lost every day, such as those in our skin,
hair, blood and the lining of our gut. Stem cells have two
key properties: 1) the ability to self-renew, dividing in a
way that makes copies of themselves, and 2) the ability to
differentiate, giving rise to the mature types of cells that
make up our organs and tissues.
Tissue-specific stem cells
Tissue-specific stem cells, which are sometimes referred to
as “adult” or “somatic” stem cells, are already somewhat
specialized and can produce some or all of the mature
cell types found within the particular tissue or organ in
which they reside. Because of their ability to generate
multiple, organ-specific, cell types, they are described as
“multipotent.” For example, stem cells found within the
adult brain are capable of making neurons and two types of
glial cells, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.
Tissue-specific stem cells have been found in several organs
that need to continuously replenish themselves, such as the
blood, skin and gut and have even been found in other, less
regenerative, organs such as the brain. These types of stem
cells represent a very small population and are often buried
deep within a given tissue, making them difficult to identify,
isolate and grow in a laboratory setting.

Embryonic stem cells
Embryonic stem cells have been derived from a variety
of species, including humans, and are described as
“pluripotent,” meaning that they can generate all the
different types of cells in the body. Embryonic stem cells
can be obtained from the blastocyst, a very early stage
of development that consists of a mostly hollow ball of
approximately 150-200 cells and is barely visible to the
naked eye. At this stage, there are no organs, not even
blood, just an “inner cell mass” from which embryonic stem
cells can be obtained. Human embryonic stem cells are
derived primarily from blastocysts that were created by
in vitro fertilization (IVF) for assisted reproduction but
were no longer needed.
The fertilized egg and the cells that immediately arise in the
first few divisions are “totipotent.” This means that, under
the right conditions, they can generate a viable embryo
(including support tissues such as the placenta). Within a
matter of days, however, these cells transition to become
pluripote ...

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
2. WHAT IS STEM CELLS?
Stem cells are the foundation cells for every organ and tissue in our bodies. The
highly specialized cells that make up these tissues originally came from an initial pool
of stem cells formed shortly after fertilization.
Cell Life. Throughout our lives, we continue to rely on stem cells to replace injured
tissues and cells that are lost every day, such as those in our skin, hair, blood and the
lining of our gut.
Properties. Stem cells have two key properties:
1) the ability to self-renew, dividing in a way that makes copies of themselves, and
2) the ability to differentiate, giving rise to the mature types of cells that make up
our organs and tissues
3. STEM CELLS TYPE
1. Embryonic Stem Cells
Cells derived from very early in development, usually the inner cell mass of a developing
blastocyst (very early embrio). These cells are self-renewing (can replicate themselves) and
pluripotent (can form all cell types found in the body).
2. Fetal Stem Cells
fetal stem cells are taken from the fetus. The developing baby is referred to as a fetus from
approximately 10 weeks of gestation. Most tissues in a fetus contain stem cells that drive the
rapid growth and development of the organs. Like adult stem cells, fetal stem cells are generally
tissue specific, and generate the mature cell types within the particular tissue or organ in which
they are found.
3. Cord Blood Stem Cells
At birth the blood in the umbilical cord is rich in blood-forming stem cells. The applications of
cord blood are similar to those of adult bone marrow and are currently used to treat diseases and
conditions of the blood or to restore the blood system after treatment for specific cancers. Like
the stem cells in adult bone marrow, cord blood stem cells are tissue-specific.
4. STEM CELLS TYPE
4. Adult Stem Cells or Tissue Specific Stem Cells
Stem cells found in different tissues of the body that can give rise to some or all of the mature
cell types found within the particular tissue or organ from which they came, i.e., blood stem cells
can give rise to all the cells that make up the blood, but not the cells of organs such as the liver or
brain.
5. Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Mesenchymal stem cells were originally discovered in the bone marrow, but have since been
found throughout the body and can give rise to a large number of connective tissue types such as
bone, cartilage and fat.
6. Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPS cells)
stem cells that were from a cell with a specialized function (for example, a skin cell) that has been
“reprogrammed” to an unspecialized state similar to that of an embryonic stem cell.
5. WHAT IS STEM CELLS THERAPY
Therapy. A stem cell therapy is a treatment that uses:
– Stem cells,
– Protein secreted by stem cells , or
– Cells that come from stem cells, to replace or to repair a patient’s cells or tissues that
are damaged.
Application. The stem cells might be put into the blood, or transplanted into the damaged
tissue directly, or even recruited from the patient’s own tissues for self-repair.
6. MEDICAL CLINIC
Clinical translation is the process used to turn scientific knowledge into real world medical
treatments. Researchers take what they have learned about how a tissue usually works and what
goes wrong in a particular disease or injury and use this information to develop new ways to
diagnose, stop or fix what goes wrong.
Before being marketed or adopted as standard of care, most treatments are tested through
clinical trials. Sometimes, in attempting new surgical techniques or where the disease or
condition is rare and does not have a large enough group of people to form a clinical trial, certain
treatments might be tried on one or two people, a form of testing sometimes referred to as
innovative medicine.
7. POTENTIAL THERAPY
Blood stem cells are currently the most frequently used stem cells for therapy. For more than 50
years, doctors have been using bone marrow transplants to transfer blood stem cells to patients, and
more advanced techniques for collecting blood stem cells are now being used to treat leukemia,
lymphoma and several inherited blood disorders.
Umbilical cord blood, like bone marrow, is often collected as a source of blood stem cells and in
certain cases is being used as an alternative to bone marrow transplantation. Additionally, some bone,
skin and corneal diseases or injuries can be treated by grafting tissues that are derived from or
maintained by stem cells. These therapies have also been shown to be safe and effective.
Mesenchymal stem cell, found throughout the body including in the bone marrow, can be
directed to become bone, cartilage, fat and possibly even muscle. In certain experimental models, these
cells also have some ability to modify immune functions. These abilities have created considerable
interest in developing ways of using mesenchymal stem cells to treat a range of musculoskeletal
abnormalities, cardiac disease and some immune abnormalities such as graft-versus-host disease
following bone marrow transplant.
8. CHALLENGES
First, identifying, isolating and growing the right kind of stem cell, particularly in the case of rare
adult stem cells, are painstaking and difficult processes. Pluripotent stem cells, such as embryonic
stem cells, can be grown indefinitely in the lab and have the advantage of having the potential to
become any cell in the body, but these processes are again very complex and must be tightly
controlled. iPS cells, while promising, are also limited by these concerns. In both cases,
considerable work remains to be done to ensure that these cells can be isolated and used safely
and routinely.
Second, as with organ transplants, it is very important to have a close match between the
donor tissue and the recipient. The more closely the tissue matches the recipient, the lower the
risk of rejection. Being able to avoid the lifelong use of immunosuppressants would also be
preferable. The discovery of iPS cells has opened the door to developing patient-specific
pluripotent stem cell lines that can later be developed into a needed cell type without the
problems of rejection and immunosuppression that occur from transplants from unrelated
donors.
Third, a system for delivering the cells to the right part of the body must be developed. Once in
the right location, the new cells must then be encouraged to integrate and function together with
the body’s other cells.
