Stem Cells In Regenerative Medicine: A Journey From Adult Stem Cells To Induced Pluripotent Cells

This review explores the role of stem cells in regenerative medicine, focusing on their potential to repair and regenerate damaged tissues. It discusses various types of stem cells, including adult stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), highlighting their differentiation capabilities into specific tissue cells. The review classifies stem cells based on their embryonic tissue derivation—ectodermal, mesodermal, and endodermal—and examines their application in developing new regenerative therapies. Induced pluripotent stem cells are emphasized as an innovative advancement in the field.
