Objective:
To investigate an important role of the stem cells in reconstructing the tissues and organs.
Methods:
Based on our own researches and combined with the review of the literature at home and abroad, the latest development of the cell therapy with the stem cells and the application of the seed cells in the tissue engineering were analyzed.
Results:
As the stem cells are the origin of the human tissues and organs and have a higher self-renewal ability and extensive characteristics of proliferation in vitro, their imbedding and multi-differential potentialities were illustrated. Both the embryonic stem cells and the adult stem cells had a wide prospect as ideal seed cells for reparation and reconstruction of the impaired human tissues and organs.
Conclusion:
The stem cells can play an important role in repairing and reconstructing the injured tissues and organs and they have a promising prospect in clinical application. The further research and wide application of the stems cells will significantly improve the therapeutic effects on the injured tissues and organs.
