3. What is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy is a non-
invasive form of regenerative
medicine that utilizes the
body's natural healing
mechanism to treat or
prevent a disease or
condition.
Stem cells can renew and repair
diseased or damaged tissues and
have shown promising results in
treatments of various orthopedic,
cardiovascular, neuromuscular
and autoimmune conditions.

4. Recap: What are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are the body's raw
materials — cells from which
all other cells with specialized
functions are generated.
Under specific conditions, stem
cells divide to form more cells
called daughter cells. These
daughter cells become either new
stem cells or specialized cells with
a more specific function.

5. Sources of Stem Cells

Embryonic Stem
Cells
Found in earliest
stage of pregnancy,
3-5 days after egg is
fertilized by sperm,
within the inner cell
mass of blastocyst.
Adult Stem Cells
AKA somatic stem
cells, more
specialized than
embryonic. Found
within brain, bone
marrow, blood
vessels, skeletal
muscles, skin, liver,
etc.
Mesenchymal Stem
Cells (MSCs)
Comes from
connective tissue or
stroma that
surrounds the body’s
organs and other
tissues. Can be used
to create bone,
cartilage & fat cells.
Induced Pluripotent
Stem Cells (iPS)
Created in labs using
tissue-specific cells
like the skin.
Extracted stem cells
are placed in
controlled cell
cultures for
therapeutic R&D.

6. Types of Stem Cells

TOTIPOTENT
Can differentiate
into all possible
cell types.
Appears as the
zygote starts to
divide.
PLURIPOTENT
Can turn into
almost any type
of cell.
Found in early
embryo.
MULTIPOTENT
Can differentiate
into closely
related family of
cells.
Example:
hematopoietic
stem cells turn
into red and
white blood cells.
OLIGOPOTENT
Can differentiate
into a few
different cell
types.
Examples: adult
lymphoid or
myeloid stem
cells.
UNIPOTENT
Can only turn
into one kind of
specific cell.
Example: adult
muscle stem
cells.
Stem cells are categorized according to their
potential to differentiate into other types of
cells. Embryonic stem cells are the most potent.

REGENERATE
Stem cells can be guided
into becoming specific cells,
and then used in transplant
or regenerative medicine
STUDY

understand how diseases or
conditions develop by
watching how stem cells
grow
DEVELOP
Drug developers can use
programmed stem cells to
test drugs during pre-clinical
stages for safety & quality.

At time of writing, the only stem cell products that are FDA-approved
are blood-forming cells (also known as hematopoietic progenitor cells)
that are derived from umbilical cord blood.

hematopoietic progenitor cells
helps to reestablish blood cell
production in patients whose
bone marrow or immune

stem cells that can further
differentiate to create specialized
cell types.

or brain injury risk long-term
impairment of crucial motor
or cognitive (language &
memory) functions due to
loss of neurons.

Glial cells secrete transporter proteins
(‘Swim’) when oxygen levels drop. These
proteins encapsulate and carry ‘Wg/Wnt’
molecules to nearby neural stem cells,
activating them to begin the process of neural
regeneration.

16. • Researchers have recently shown interest in using stem cells
in the field of regenerative medicine.
• Stem cell-based therapy has shown promising results in
treating various diseases and conditions.
• Despite the vast potential of stem cells in regenerative
medicine, only less than a dozen therapies have been
approved by the FDA (even then they are hematopoietic
progenitor cells and not stem cells per se).
• With the recent advances already made within the past
decade, new regulatory framework and policy support is
needed to further drive the use of stem cells in regenerative
medicine.
