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.
