Embryonic stem cells can help a number of people. With the potential of embryonic stem cells to be used as a treatment to several medical disorders …show more content…
A new treatment using stem cells which have the potential to grow into variety of heart cell types could potentially repair and regenerate damaged heart tissue.
Stem cells can also be used to treat diabetes. It is possible to treat type 1 diabetes by transplanting isolated cells which contain beta cells or maybe even a whole pancreas into the patient from a donor. Transplants can enable the body to regain control of blood sugar levels so that administering insulin is no longer needed.
Stem cell research can help with spinal cord injuries. Spinal cord injuries are mostly caused by trauma,often incurred in traffic or sporting incidents, often with devastating and irreversible consequences. Spinal cord injuries will be able to be treated as a result of using stem cells which can regrow the damaged spinal cord.
During this process of using stem cells or spinal cord injuries scientist look to repopulate damaged areas of the spinal cord beyond the area of the injury. Many studies have been performed on animal models of spinal cord injuries but these are limited. The limitations hamper each study’s statistical power to show the true effect of stem cell
