Area of Science:

  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Stem Cell Biology
  • Gynecology and Obstetrics

Background:

  • Stem cells are crucial for developing new therapies to replace damaged cells, tissues, and organs.
  • Identified stem cell types include embryonal stem cells, umbilical cord blood stem cells, and bone marrow stem cells.
  • Embryonal stem cells and umbilical cord blood stem cells are particularly promising and sourced from fertility clinics and labor wards, respectively.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the biological potential of stem cells.
  • To provide a gynecology-obstetrics perspective on stem cell applications.
  • To focus on the scientific aspects, excluding ethical considerations.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of stem cell research.
