- Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can renew themselves and differentiate into specialized cell types. They can be classified by their source (embryonic or adult) and potency (totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent, etc.).
- The Ayurvedic concept of Dhatus is similar to modern concepts of stem cells, with Sthayi Dhatus representing stem cells and Asthayi Dhatus representing functional tissues.
- Rasayanas are thought to act primarily at the stem cell level by enhancing proliferation, differentiation, and tissue regeneration. Specific Rasayanas may target stem cells of particular tissues or systems. Further studies on stem cell lines could help elucidate how

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian medical system that can help prevent aging and treat age-related problems through Panchakarma procedures. Panchakarma involves cleansing techniques like emesis, purgation, enemas, and nasal therapies. These help eliminate toxins and regulate the doshas. Specific Panchakarma therapies can also help with issues related to aging like loss of senses, skin elasticity, cognition and more. Regular practice of Panchakarma is said to have a rejuvenating effect and support healthy aging according to Ayurveda.
1) Astrology can be used as a prognostic and diagnostic tool in Ayurveda based on its recognition as one of the six auxiliary sciences (shadanga) of Ayurveda.
2) Astro-medicine interprets the influence of celestial bodies on human health and disease based on their electromagnetic and gravitational forces. It aims to anticipate disease and treatment plans through astrological readings.
3) Astro-medicine terminology can be used to understand disease patterns based on placements of planets in the natal chart, especially in the 6th, 8th and 12th houses which are associated with disease. Transits of planets can also indicate timing of disease manifestations.

1) Rasayana in Ayurveda refers to substances that promote longevity, youthfulness, immunity, strength and rejuvenation.
2) Rasayana has a multidimensional approach and can act as an immunomodulator, antioxidant, and adaptogen to combat lifestyle diseases and stresses on the body.
3) Several studies have shown that rasayana herbs like Ashwagandha, Mandukaparni, and Shatavari can boost immunity by increasing antibodies and preventing disease recurrence.
The document discusses the philosophy and practice of Ayurveda alchemy (Rasashastra) in India. It notes that Ayurveda incorporates substances from minerals, plants, and animals for medicinal purposes. Mercury and metals were traditionally used internally according to classical Ayurvedic texts. However, improper preparation methods have led to toxicity in some modern Ayurvedic preparations. Proper purification techniques can reportedly remove toxicity, but quality control remains an issue given the tradition of using heavy metals and minerals. The document outlines the historical use of alchemy in Ayurveda and provides photos of traditional preparation methods.
Understanding the mechanics of shirodhara processUmang Surana
Shirodhara is an Ayurvedic treatment where oil is dripped onto the forehead in a controlled manner. A study developed a robot to perform computerized Shirodhara. Experiments showed that using a coconut and wick assembly produced a smooth, constant flow of oil compared to free flow. Different oils were also tested, with sesame oil showing the best results. Computational fluid dynamics was used to analyze flow properties of various liquids. The results provide guidance on optimizing Shirodhara treatment parameters.
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 cells are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and renew themselves through cell division. There are several types of stem cells including totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent, oligopotent and unipotent stem cells, which differ in their ability to differentiate. Stem cells can be obtained from embryos, umbilical cord blood, and some adult tissues. Key uses of stem cells include replacing damaged cells to treat diseases, studying diseases, and testing new medical treatments.
Stem cells have the potential to divide and renew themselves indefinitely, and give rise to specialized cell types. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells which are pluripotent and can become any cell type, and adult stem cells which are multipotent and can form a limited number of cell types. Stem cell research offers possibilities for treating diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders through cell therapy and tissue regeneration. However, ethical issues surround the use of embryonic stem cells.
Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can differentiate into specialized cell types. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells, which are derived from embryos and are pluripotent, and adult stem cells, which are multipotent and found in adult tissues. Stem cell research holds promise for developing new treatments for diseases by enabling cell regeneration and replacement. However, there are still challenges to overcome regarding isolating and delivering stem cells safely and effectively for clinical applications.
Stem cell therapy holds promise for treating many incurable diseases by replacing damaged cells. There are various types of stem cells including embryonic, adult, and induced pluripotent stem cells. While embryonic stem cells can differentiate into any cell type, their use is controversial due to requiring embryo destruction. Alternative sources like adult stem cells and iPS cells do not have the same ethical issues but may have limitations. Stem cell research faces challenges like preventing immune rejection and tumor formation but continues to advance regenerative medicine.
Stem cells and infertility by Dr. GayathiriMorris Jawahar
Stem cells offer potential treatments for many conditions like diabetes, Parkinson's disease and heart disease. Research is focused on better understanding stem cell types like embryonic, adult and induced pluripotent stem cells. Challenges include identifying growth factors, avoiding immune rejection, and safety issues like preventing malignancy. Recent studies show stem cells improving conditions in animal models of diseases like hemophilia and spinal cord injury. Clinical trials are beginning to test stem cell therapies for conditions like ALS. Overall stem cells represent an exciting area of research towards regenerative medicine.
Stem cells are defined as cells that can renew themselves and differentiate into other cell types. They can be isolated from embryos, umbilical cord, and adult bone marrow. Stem cells have the potential to divide indefinitely and the ability to become specialized cells through developmental plasticity. Research on stem cells is showing promising results for treating diseases like heart disease and cancer. Stem cells can be totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent, or unipotent depending on their differentiation potential.
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and divide to produce more stem cells. There are two main types - embryonic stem cells isolated from blastocysts and adult stem cells found in tissues. Adult stem cells act as a repair system, replenishing tissues. Stem cells can be extracted from bone marrow, adipose tissue, and blood. They are characterized by their ability to self-renew and differentiate into other cell types. Embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos and cultured on feeder layers where they can proliferate indefinitely. Stem cells have potential uses in research, drug testing, and regenerative cell therapy for conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and spinal cord injury.
Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can differentiate into specialized cell types. There are several types of stem cells including embryonic, adult, and induced pluripotent stem cells. The document discusses the characteristics and types of stem cells in detail. It explains that embryonic stem cells are derived from early embryos and can differentiate into any cell type, while adult stem cells are found in tissues and can generate cell types of that tissue. The document provides examples of stem cell differentiation and potential medical uses for regenerative therapies.
Stem cells are cells that can differentiate into other types of cells and can self-renew to produce more stem cells. There are two main types: embryonic stem cells, which are pluripotent and derived from early-stage embryos, and adult stem cells, which are multipotent and found in adult tissues. Stem cells may be useful for regenerative medicine applications like treating diseases but their research and use is also ethically debated.
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can renew themselves and differentiate into specialized cell types. There are several classifications of stem cells based on their potency, including totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent, and unipotent. Stem cells reside in stem cell niches that regulate their behavior. Oral tissues contain several types of adult stem cells, such as dental pulp stem cells from teeth, which can differentiate into various cell types and be used for dental tissue regeneration. Other oral stem cells include stem cells from exfoliated deciduous teeth, dental follicle stem cells, stem cells from the apical papilla, and periodontal ligament stem cells. These oral stem cells are a promising source for regener
Stem cells were first extracted from human embryos in 1998 and researchers grew stem cells from embryos using private funding in 2004. There are several types of stem cells including pluripotent stem cells found in early embryos which can form any cell type, and multipotent adult stem cells which are more limited in what cells they can form. Stem cell research is important because stem cells can replace diseased cells and allow the study of development, but the use of embryonic stem cells is controversial because it destroys the early embryo.
This document discusses stem cell culture and provides definitions, classifications, and methods for culturing different types of stem cells. It summarizes the history of stem cell research from 1981 to present. It describes embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells including bone marrow and umbilical cord stem cells. Methods are outlined for isolating and culturing stem cells from bone marrow and umbilical cord. Advantages and disadvantages of different stem cell sources are compared.
Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can differentiate into specialized cell types. There are several sources of stem cells including embryonic stem cells derived from early stage embryos, adult stem cells found in adult tissues, and fetal stem cells from fetuses. Stem cells are categorized by their potency, or ability to differentiate, with totipotent stem cells able to differentiate into all cell types and unipotent stem cells only able to produce their own cell type. Stem cell therapy works by transplanting stem cells into injured tissues where they receive signals to differentiate into the needed cell types to repair damage. Potential applications of stem cell therapy include treating diseases like diabetes, Parkinson's, and brain injuries.
This document discusses stem cell banking and its benefits. It explains that stem cell banking involves extracting, processing and storing stem cells that can potentially treat over 80 diseases. Stem cells have the ability to transform into any tissue or organ and can benefit not just the baby but also siblings and family members. The document provides information on what stem cells are, where they come from, how they work and the potential of stem cell therapy for regenerative medicine. It discusses private and public stem cell banking options available in India. The overall goal is to create awareness of stem cell banking and its ability to provide a healthy future for families.
This document provides an overview of stem cell therapy. It defines stem cells as cells that can continuously divide and differentiate into other cell types. The key properties of stem cells are self-renewal and the ability to become specialized. There are several types of stem cells including totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent, oligopotent and unipotent cells. The document also describes different sources of human stem cells such as umbilical cord, amniotic fluid, fetal tissue, and embryonic and adult tissues. It discusses applications of stem cell therapy and challenges to stem cell research.
This document defines stem cells and discusses their characteristics, sources, and functions. It makes three key points:
1. Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can renew themselves and differentiate into specialized cell types. They are classified based on their potency and sources as embryonic, adult, totipotent, pluripotent, and multipotent stem cells.
2. Stem cells have plasticity, meaning they can take on cell fates different from their tissue of origin. This is influenced by their microenvironment.
3. Stem cells work by maintaining an interaction with their niche, the surrounding differentiated cells that secrete factors influencing stem cell behavior like division, death, or differentiation. Loss or

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

12. STEM CELLS
Stem
cells
• Cells that can
make more of
themselves
• Cells that can
become almost
any cell
13. • Stem cells are capable of dividing and renewing
themselves for long periods.
• Unlike muscle cells, blood cells, or nerve cells—
which do not normally replicate themselves—
stem cells may replicate many times, or
proliferate.
14. • Stem cells differ from other kinds of cells and
have three general properties:
▫ they are capable of dividing and renewing
themselves for long periods
▫ they are unspecialized
▫ they can give rise to specialized cell types
15. • Stem cells are unspecialized.
• Stem cells do not have any tissue-specific
structures that allow to perform specialized
functions.
• For example, a stem cell cannot pump blood
(like a heart muscle cell), and it cannot carry
oxygen molecules (like a red blood cell).
16. • Unspecialized stem cells can give rise to
specialized cells, including heart muscle cells,
blood cells, or nerve cells and the process is
called differentiation.
• Hematopoietic stem cells give rise to all the
types of blood cells: red blood cells, B
lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, natural killer cells,
neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes,
and macrophages.
17. • Mesenchymal stem cells give rise to a variety of
cell types: bone cells (osteocytes), cartilage cells
(chondrocytes), fat cells (adipocytes) etc.
• Neural stem cells in the brain give rise to its
three major cell types: nerve cells (neurons) and
two categories of non-neuronal cells—astrocytes
and oligodendrocytes.
18. • Epithelial stem cells in the lining of the digestive
tract give rise to several cell types: absorptive
cells, goblet cells, and enteroendocrine cells.
• The epidermal stem cells give rise to
keratinocytes
• The follicular stem cells can give rise to both the
hair follicle and to the epidermis.
20. • Potency is how many types of cells a stem cell
can become.
▫ Totipotent stem cells are capable of developing
into any other type of body cell.
▫ Pluripotent cells are almost as potent as
totipotent stem cells. They have barely started
differentiating and can develop into almost any
other type of cell, except placenta.
21. ▫ Multipotent stem cells that have begun differentiating into
a general type of cell. For blood cell giving rise to a blood cell
only but not brain cell.
▫ Oligopotent stem cells can differentiate into only a few
types of cell. For example, a lymphoid stem cell can become
any of the blood cells found in the lymphatic system (T cells,
B cells, and plasma cells), but not a different kind of blood
cell, such as a red blood cell, or platelet.
▫ Unipotent stem cells can only become one type of cell their
own. They are considered stem cells because they can
reproduce indefinitely. An example is skin cells, which can
renew themselves indefinitely, but which cannot become any
other type of cell.
22. Embryonic stem cells
• Embryonic stem cells come from a five to six -
day- old embryo. They have the ability to form
virtually any type of cell found in the human
body.
• Embryonic stem cells can become all cell types
of the body.
24. Adult stem cells
• Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells found
among specialised (differentiated) cells in a
tissue or organ after birth.
• Adult stem cells have limited to differentiating
capasity.
25. • Adult stem cells have been identified in many
organs and tissues, including brain, bone
marrow, peripheral blood, blood vessels, skeletal
muscle, skin, teeth, heart, gut, liver, ovarian
epithelium, and testis.
• They are thought to reside in a specific area of
each tissue (called a "stem cell niche").
26.
27. • Differentiation of adult stem cells:
• Adult stem cells divide, when needed, and can
give rise to mature cell types that have
▫ Characteristic shape
▫ Specialized structures
▫ Functions of a particular tissue
29. • A blood-forming cell in the bone marrow -
hematopoietic stem cell—cannot give rise to
the cells of a very different tissue, such as nerve
cells in the brain.
31. • Scientists discovered two regions of the brain that
contained dividing cells that ultimately become
nerve cells.
• Despite these reports, most scientists believed that
the adult brain could not generate new nerve cells.
• It was not until the 1990s that scientists agreed that
the adult brain does contain stem cells that are able
to generate the brain's three major cell types—
astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, which are
non-neuronal cells, and neurons, or nerve cells.
32. Dhatu
• Ayurved identified sapta dhatu and few
upadhatu.
• Adya rasadhatu is the source for Saptadhatu
• Sukshmabhaga of dhatu nourishes successive
dhatu
• Uttarottara dhatu poshana is possible only in
forward direction
33. • Several types of tissues are described at present
• Ayurved considered group of tissues under one
dhatu and hence listed only seven dhatu
• Dhatu concept represent advanced stem cell
theories
