Title: The Study and Potential Application of Human Adult Stem Cells

Great progress has been achieved at the adult stem cells isolating, proliferation and inducing differentiation. It was reported that some type of adult stem cells, such as neural stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells and hematopoietic stem cell, can differentiate into developmentally unrelated cell types, such as nerve cells differentiate into blood cells. Adult stem cells can be used as a model in the molecular mechism studies of life development. Certain aspects of the stem cell microenvironment, are conserved between tissues, and this can be exploited in the application of stem cells to cell therapy,tissue engineering and gene therapy.Read More
