What are Adult Stem Cells?
An adult stem cell is thought to be an undifferentiated cell, found among differentiated cells in a tissue or organ. The adult stem cell can renew itself and can differentiate to yield some or all of the major specialized cell types of the tissue or organ. The primary roles of adult stem cells in a living organism are to maintain and repair the tissue in which they are found.
Research on adult stem cells has generated a great deal of excitement. Scientists have found adult stem cells in many more tissues than they once thought possible. This finding has led researchers and clinicians to ask whether adult stem cells could be used for transplants. In fact, adult hematopoietic, or blood-forming, stem cells from bone marrow have been used in transplants for more than 40 years. Scientists now have evidence that stem cells exist in the brain and the heart, two locations where adult stem cells were not at first expected to reside. If the differentiation of adult stem cells can be controlled in the laboratory, these cells may become the basis of transplantation-based therapies.
The history of research on adult stem cells began in the 1950s, when researchers discovered that the bone marrow contains at least two kinds of stem cells. One population, called hematopoietic stem cells, forms all the types of blood cells in the body. A second population, called bone marrow stromal stem cells (also called mesenchymal stem cells), were discovered a few years later. These non-hematopoietic stem cells make up a small proportion of the stromal cell population in the bone marrow, and can generate bone, cartilage, fat, cells that support the formation of blood, and fibrous connective tissue.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL
Hong Kong Artist - Miss Lai Shui Yan
I always believe the strong potential of stem cell therapies. I chose CRYOLIFE to store my children’s precious umbilical cord blood when they were born. When I was told CRYOLIFE has the adult stem cells banking services launched last year, I have made up my mind storing my immune cells to safeguard my health. The concept of storing immune cells is new to me, yet thanks to CRYOLIFE colleague who gave me a very clear and professional presentation on how immune cells work to treat cancers. Banking my healthy cells with CRYOLIFE is definitely the right choice.
