How Do I Become a Stem Cell Researcher?

Guizhou Provincial Biomedical and Stem Cell Therapy Engineering Research Center is a research center for stem cells. Stem cells have unlimited self-renewal ability and can also differentiate into cells of specific tissues. They are at a relatively primitive stage during cell development.

Stem cells can be divided into the following four categories according to their capabilities:

Stem cell research is believed to have begun in the 1960s, under the Canadian scientist Ernest Moco

At present, the research of stem cells and regenerative medicine has become the most noticeable field in the natural sciences. The improvement of its theory and the rapid development of technology will surely produce epoch-making results in the fields of disease treatment and biomedicine. And a major revolution in medical concepts. The use of stem cell therapy has a variety of advantages: low toxicity (or non-toxicity), even if the exact mechanism of the disease is not fully understood, the treatment effect can be achieved. Autologous stem cell transplantation can avoid immune rejection and is effective for traditional treatment Worse diseases often have amazing results.

Differentiated cells often lose their ability to redifferentiate due to high differentiation, and such cells will eventually age and die. However, during the development of the animal body, a part of the undifferentiated cells always remains in the body, which are stem cells. Stem cells

Stem cells are particularly important for early human development, and specialized stem cells can also be found in children and adults. Take one of the most well-known stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, for example. Hematopoietic stem cells exist in every child and adult.

With the rapid development of various biological technologies such as genetic engineering, embryo engineering, and cell engineering, in accordance with certain developmental purposes, it has become possible to artificially isolate and culture stem cells in vitro, using stem cells to construct various cells, tissues, and organs as transplants Organ source, which will become the main direction of stem cell applications.
