stem cells and anti-ageing

Will stem cell treatment really be the panacea for longevity or is it all hype.!

Medicine is on the threshold of a new age in cellular therapy and tissue regeneration which will directly and beneficially impact how long and how well we will live. Stem cell therapeutics is the leading biomedical science in the rapidly emerging field of regenerative medicine,in this medical field where science assists the human capacity and enhances the body’s ability to heal various tissues and organs. All of the most impressive demonstrations of regenerative medicine have used stem cells to trigger healing and regeneration in our patients.
Ageing causes our stem cell reserves to decline. Our cells diminish in their ability to regenerate and repair tissue as the number of stem cells decrease;leading to age-related changes occur in the skin, organs, sex glands, immune system, blood-forming system, muscles and other systems.As cells become progressively weaker over time and die, their replacement with new ones, can remediate ageing, this evidence of an “anti-ageing” effect of stem cells is well documented and reported in the medical literature. In one report, fetal liver cell and cord blood stem cell preparations improved immune function and hormonal balance in patients undergoing cosmetic procedures, and thereby enhanced the cosmetic outcome.
