This document discusses stem cell therapy and its potential to treat various incurable or "no hope" disorders. It provides an overview of stem cells, their sources and types. Mesenchymal stem cells from sources like bone marrow, umbilical cord blood and adipose tissue are highlighted as having advantages for therapy due to their ability to differentiate, lack of ethical issues, and potential to be used across HLA barriers. A number of incurable conditions are identified where stem cell therapy may be effective or very effective, including diabetes, neurological disorders, anti-aging, and orthopedic issues. The success of stem cell therapy depends on isolating and culturing the appropriate stem cell types for differentiation. Questions about the therapy are also addressed

damaged tissue in order to treat
injuries / Disease in
“No Hope Disorders”
9. • Is it really working?

country ?
• Is it really possible to segregate Mesenchymal cells?
• Differentiation of cells out side body possible in India???
• If it is too good then, why not NOBEL PRIZE given ?
• ?
• ??
• ???
• Is this therapy available in India?

11. We are sure there are a lot of doubts plaguing
your mind about STEM CELL BANKING and
STEM CELL THERAPY.
Let us help you to ERASE these doubts.
Doubts… on SCT
12. 1913 the great Spanish neuroscientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal
pronounced “that in adult Neurone & the nerve paths –
Everything may die, nothing may be regenerated”.
Nerve Cell
Cannot
Regenerate ?
15. Major Milestones
Which Triggered Adult Stem Cell
Research ?
• Since1970’s,
BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTS
have been used for treatment of
Immunodeficient &
leukemia (with Good results).
16. 2nd
Breakthrough…
History of Human Embryonic
Stem Cell Research
In 1998, James Thomson (University of
Wisconsin-Madison) isolated cells from the inner
cell mass of the blastocyst, and developed the
first human embryonic stem cell line in culture.

21. What are Stem Cells
• Ability to differentiate
• Ability to regenerate
22. Stem Cell is a
•young,
•primitive and unspecialized cell with a
remarkable potential to renew,
•Differentiate and
Develop into any desired tissue or organ of
the body.
What is stem cells ?
23. Self renewal: Unlimited proliferative potential.
Differentiation: Differentiate into various cell types
Pluripotency,
Multipotency,
Unipotency)
Plasticity : Trans-differentiation
Regeneration potential: a means of Repair
Characteristic Features
25. Cells having infinite self renewing capacity and
potential for differentiation.

showed similar blood glucose profile as compared to the normal non diabetic controls.
27. How MSCs work In vivo
Under normal circumstances MSC contribute to tissue maintenance, contributing to
immune homeostasis by avoiding unnecessary immune cell response.
With damaged tissue,
harmonious interaction between
MSC and endothelial cells are
disrupted, allowing blood
extravasations , blood clot form,
platelet release multitude of
bioactive molecule, immune
cells are attracted where they
start immune surveillance and
immune response.
MSC secrete bioactive molecules that
exert anti-apoptotic, immunomodulatory ,
angiogenic , anti-scaring , anti-fibrotic
and chemoattractant effects
28. Source of Adult Stem cells
• Autologus,
• Allogeneic or
• Xenogenic
Fetal tissue is the best current tissue source for
human stem cells,
However ethical issues are a major concern.
(ICMR – Autologous)

31. Cord Blood Stem Cells
• Can be used only
to cure chronic
blood-related
disorders such as
sickle cell
disease,
Thalasemia, and
leukaemia.
32. Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell
Transplant
• Umbilical cord blood
stem cell transplants are
less prone to
rejection than either
bone marrow or
peripheral blood stem
cells. This is probably
because the cells have
not yet developed the
features that can be
recognized and attacked
by the recipient's
immune system
33. Placental Blood as a Source of Hematopoietic
Stem Cells for Transplantation into
UNRELATED RECIPIENTS
Joanne Kurtzberg, M.D.et al
34. PLASTICITY: The ability of one tissue to produce cells of other developmentally
unrelated tissues
Traditionally, stem cells were believed to be Lineage Restricted and
Organ Specific.
Bone marrow stem cells:
The gold standard
35. AUTOLOGUS – STEM CELLS
• While most blood stem
cells reside in the bone
marrow, a small number
are present in the
bloodstream. These
multipotent peripheral
blood stem cells, or
PBSCs, can be used
just like bone marrow
stem cells to treat
leukaemia, other
cancers and various
blood disorders
38. Allogeneic – Stem Cells
• Sources of stem cells
from another donor
(allogeneic) are
primarily relatives
(familial- allogeneic) or
completely unrelated
donors (unrelated-
allogeneic). The stem
cells in this situation
are extracted from
either the donor's body
or cord blood
39. Xenogeny - Stem Cells
• In this stem cells from
different species are
transplanted, e.g. porcine
fetal ventral mesencephalic
(FVM) xenotransplants for
Parkinson's disease.
This has no major ethical
concerns and a large amount
of tissue is available, however
life long immunosupression
and risk of rejection are the
major limitations
42. These are
• Mono Nuclear cells ( MNC )
• Hematopoietic Stem Cells [HSC] family:
CD34+; CD45; CD133
• Mesenchymel count in M.N.C is just 0.001%
• Mesenchymel stem cell [MSC]: CD73; CD90;
CD106 Etc ..........
Classification Of Stem Cells
43. Differentiation with different cluster
coding/desire cells type ( as per disorder)
through culture.. (Mesenchymal types are -
CD 73, CD 90, CD 105 etc . .. . .
• Multiplication up label of required cells
quantity.( near to 1.5 Cr.).
• Composition of all cells like Mnc, Hsc & Msc.

Acute Leukaemia • Inherited Platelet Abnormalities
• Chronic Leukaemia • Other Inherited Disorder
• Myelodysplastic Syndromes • Inherited Metabolic Disorders
• Marrow Failure • Histiocytic Disorders
• Thalassemia • Inherited Erythrocyte Abnormalities
• Myeloproliferative Disorders • Inherited Immune System Disorders
• Lymphoproliferative Disorders • Plasma Cell Disorders
• Phagocyte Disorders • Other Malignancies
57. Drug Testing - Quicker
• Stem cells could allow scientists to test
new drugs using human cell line which
could speed up new drug development.
• Only drugs that were safe and had
beneficial effects in cell line testing would
graduate to whole animal or human
testing.
• It would allow quicker and safer
development of new drugs.
