This short 3 minute video provides a summarized overview on stem cell basics. We are living in extraordinary times with so many important breakthroughs and developments occurring in the field of regenerative medicine.
Adult stem cells are not embryonic stem cells.
Adult stem cells are the master cells of the body. They play an important role in terms of growth, maintenance, repair and renewal. Adult stem cells have the ability to maintain, self-renew and repair cells, tissue, muscle, skin and blood as well as modulate our immune response throughout our entire lifetime.
