Stem cells are the main cells that form all tissues and organs in our body. These cells, which have not yet differentiated, have the ability to divide unlimitedly, renew themselves, and turn into organs and tissues. The targets of cells in our body such as bone, muscle, cartilage, liver, nerve and skin cells are clear, and when these cells divide, they form cells like themselves. However, stem cells do not have a defined function unlike these cells. Therefore, they can transform into different cell types according to the signal they receive.
Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells found in differentiated tissues and are found in people of all ages. When needed, they transform into different cell types in the tissue they are in. Adult stem cells reproduce by producing copies of themselves as long as the organism lives. These cells serve as spare parts sources that produce new ones to replace the old, diseased or dying cells in the tissues they are in.
Adult stem cells are used in the adult's bone marrow, fat tissue, peripheral blood, heart, kidney, brain, skin, eye, It has been detected in the digestive system, liver, pancreas, lung, breast, ovary, testicle, prostate and tooth. Adult stem cells have a more limited differentiation potential than embryological cells and can generate a limited number of progenitor cells. In some physiological and pathological situations, they can spread to other distant tissues. By taking advantage of these properties of stem cells, stem cell treatments can be applied in bone and musculoskeletal system diseases.
