Abstract: (5145 Views) |
Stem cells as natural cells exist in embryonic and adult tissues. Recent studies have begun to prove the strong and powerful role of stem cells in the field of treatment. Stem cells have the potential for self-renewal and differentiation into specific types of somatic cells. Their ability to produce new cells in medicine, drug discovery, cell therapy and research is very important. In the past decades, many efforts have been made to find safe, low-cost methods and progress stem cell culture. The purpose of this review article is to: 1) explain the application of stem cells in medicine, drug discovery, modeling of disease and toxicology studies. 2) A summary of recent advances in stem cell technology, the advantages and disadvantages of the most commonly used culture methods.
The result of this discussion shows that the use of new culture methods can be effective in the optimal use of stem cells. |
