Stem cell research has been a topic of interest since 1956. In that year, the first bone marrow transplant was performed by Dr. E Donnall Thomas in the state of New York. The patient had received radiotherapy and then received a bone marrow transplant from an identical twin that then cured the patient’s leukemia. Four years later, Researchers had made extreme advancements in the discovery of bone marrow and its contents. They found there is at least two kinds of stem cells that are present in bone marrow. From here on, researchers continued to find different locations of stem cells and the function of them. They continued the advancement within the research of stem cells in hopes to treat multiple types of disease and create new and improved

It also helps with obesity and hypertension, as well as sleep, mood, and some social disorders (Harvard).
“It really has not been possible to study these neurons before, and now we have an opportunity to do that,” said Merkle. “A lot has been done in mouse cells, but we don’t know how similar [to human cells] they really are. There could be important differences that are relevant to human disease” (Harvard).
Regenerative Medicine deals with replacement or regeneration of human cells, tissues or organs, to restore or establish the normal function. In this field of medicine, it utilizes stem cells that are therapeutically valuable for the regeneration of diseased tissues and organs. Researchers suggest that adult stem cells are crucial for all physiological tissue renewal and regeneration after injury or disease. Another theory says that the bone marrow cell injected secretes cytokines that promote angiogenesis and consequently, osteogenesis is induced on the necrotic area by increasing angiogenesis, suggesting that stem cells can heal necrotic tissue [44]. Some study suggests that MSC showed a fibroblast-like morphology and can be differentiated in vitro that are then transferred into osteogenic lineages. Stem cells can be used greatly within the field for regeneration treatment.
