Diabetes, Anti ageing, Eye Disorders, cancers are also curable to the extent by stem cell
Therapy.
Stem cells are basic unspecialized cells present in human body with remarkable capacity to renew. They differentiate and develop into desired tissue or organ, thus help in curing variety of fatal and non-fatal diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, and muscle damage.
Stem cells show potential for many different areas of health and medical research, and studying them can help us understand how they transform into the dazzling array of specialized cells that make us what we are. Some of the most serious medical conditions, such as cancer and birth defects, are caused by problems that occur somewhere in this process. A better understanding of normal cell development will allow us to understand and perhaps correct the errors that cause these medical conditions.

Another potential application of stem cells is making cells and tissues for medical therapies. Today, donated organs and tissues are often used to replace those that are diseased or destroyed. Unfortunately, the number of people needing a transplant far exceeds the number of organs available for transplantation. Pluripotent stem cells offer the possibility of a renewable source of replacement cells and tissues to treat a myriad of diseases, conditions, and disabilities including Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal cord injury, burns, heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis.
Arthroscopy is performed under local, general or spinal anesthetic – this will vary depending on the joint and extent of surgery needed. Between one and a few small incisions are made, and the arthroscope – a thin tube with a camera attached – is inserted into one of the
incisions. This enables the surgeon to see the procedure on a TV monitor. If corrective surgery is needed, special instruments will be inserted through the incisions allowing the surgeon to perform any repairs as necessary. Following surgery, the incisions are then closed, usually with dissolvable stitches, and the wound bandaged.
These are mostly found in adipose/liver/ lung/ foetal tissue, Umbilical cord, placenta, amniotic fluid, peripheral blood and even in deciduous teeth. They are extensively used in gene therapy due to their high proliferation potential.

Stem cells divide and renew at will, thus replicate and proliferate to form a desired tissue or migrate to damaged area or site of injury.
