Stem cell therapy or stem cell treatment is a clinical application that utilizes stem cells to treat or manage various medical conditions. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to develop into different cell types in the body, such as muscle, bone, or nerve cells.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells found in various tissues, including umbilical cord tissue. They can differentiate into osteocytes (bone cells), chondrocytes (cartilage cells), and myocytes (muscle cells), making them highly valuable in treating musculoskeletal disorders.
The goal of stem cell therapy is to harness the regenerative and reparative capabilities of stem cells to treat or manage diseases and injuries that currently have limited treatment options.
