Culture medium also called growth medium pertains to the liquid medium necessary to carry out a culture and sensitivity test. The substance acts as a mode of support and nourishment for the cells undergoing culture, and may also contain growth factors necessary to generate cell change.
Adipose tissue pertains to fat, which is primarily made up of fat cells known as adipocytes. [1] Adipose stem cells or “ASCs” are an source of therapeutic mesenchymal cells for younger patients or those seeking cosmetic treatments like stem cell breast treatment and stem cell facelifts. Unlike the limited quantities of bone marrow derived stem stem cells “BMSCs” The adipose …
Autologous stem cells such as Adipose tissue derived stem cells are the opposite of allogenic stem cells, as only one patient stands as both donor and receiver. The stem cells will be harvested from the patient’s body, most common location of which is the bone marrow, and will be transplanted back to the patient for treatment of a variety of …
Ancestor cell or precursor cell are generic term for a cell that has no capability to renew itself, although it has been found to generate tissue stem cells in some cases, thus contributing to the formation of tissues. Ancestor Cells and Precursor Cells
Amniotic derived cells are found in the amniotic fluid and membrane. They are also considered adult stem cells and are known to have a multifunctional capacity and multiple potency as well, as these can develop into osteogenic, myogenic, adipogenic, hepatic, neuronal, and endothelial cells.[1] Amniotic derived stem cells are the result of a unique mixture of cells from both amniotic fluid …
As opposed to autologous stem cells, allogeneic stem cells are isolated from donors then expanded into different cell lineages before given to patient needing a mesenchymal stem cell transplant. Unlike autologous cells allogeneic cells do not require surgical or painful extraction methods and can be safely given to replace patients own stem cells that have been destroyed by disease, injury …
