Amniotic derived stem cell tends to be the game changer for birth defects
Amniotic derived stem cells are a combination of stem cells that can be harvested from the amniotic fluid and amniotic membrane as the maternity phase ends with the delivery. Amniotic fluid protects the fetus during its development phase in the uterus that is covered by the amniotic membrane. As soon as the baby is delivered the amniotic fluid is stored along with the amniotic membrane. The collection of the fluid brings no danger to the child
Stem cells that are obtained from the amniotic fluid and amniotic membrane, also from the bone marrow are used in medicine for a wide range of reasons
· To help enhance proteins and reduce the inflammatory effect in conditions that lead to pain, tissue damage and immobility
· Separates and develop into tissues of the body, such as skin, muscles, cartilage, bone, nerve and heart and kidney tissues to heal damaged areas caused by disease and injuries
Favors and Disfavors of the amniotic derived stem cells
Amniotic stem cell pros and cons required to be considered at in order to determine whether using such stem cells have advantages that outnumber any risk with its therapy
· The amniotic fluid is abundant in mesenchymal stem cells that are present around the fetus
· The mesenchymal stem cells, also called the MSCs have a higher transformable ability than the ones that are found from the bone marrow, which interprets that several new tissue cells can be obtained from the amniotic fluid
· These stem cells have a higher ability and flexibility in comparison to adult stem cells, causing them to multiply in healthier cells required for tissue repair
· Amniotic stem cells can be taken advantage to regenerate birth defects as well as healing a premature amniotic membrane rupture during pregnancy
· There is no risk of the body rejecting the stem cells
· The amniotic derived stem cells are rich in hyaluronic acid that assist in cartilage flexibility around the joints
The Amniotic fluid contains a restricted amount of embryonic stem cells
The recent research conducted at The Chicago Stem Cell Therapy center Dr. Zaki Anwar, MD Anesthesiologists and his fellow Physicians have come up with the following results;
Stem cell therapy has been potentially taken advantage for managing major orthopedic injuries such as bone, joint injuries, ligaments and tendon injuries, osteoarthritis and cartilage defects
Stem cell therapy has been used in bone tissue engineering and can be used in combination with other treatments to provide better outcomes
