Diseases that could be cured with the help of stem tissues

Stem tissues are really helpful in the treatment of diseases of many kinds. They are taken from cord blood. Especially for the bone marrow disease

Stem tissue transplant is the standard therapy. Apart from this, the other diseases that get cured with the help of stem tissues are.

1. Sickle cell Anaemia

Sickle cell Anaemia is characterized by abnormal hemoglobin. This abnormal hemoglobin produces 'C - shaped cells. These particular cells move very slowly and result in blocked blood vessels. This disease is very common among African Americans.

2. Thalassemia

This disease is characterized by reduced hemoglobin or an absent amount of hemoglobin. This disease is mostly found amongst the people of Mediterranean ancestry.

3. Krabbe's disease

Krabbe's disease is characterized by the abnormally present globoid cells. For the people who don't know, Globoid cells are globe-shaped cells. These Globoid cells do not have just one nucleus, but have more than one nucleus.

4. Hurler's Syndrome

Hurler's Syndrome is a lysosomal storage disease. Due to this, a person suffers from progressive metal deterioration and that is not just it, apart from progressive mental deterioration a person also suffers from loss of physical skills.

5. Aplastic Anaemia

This is a condition under which the bone marrow of a person does not produce sufficient new cells. The bone marrow must produce sufficient new cells to replace the older one. But this doesn't happen in the cases of Aplastic Anaemia.

6. Acquired bone marrow failure

Due to Chemotherapy and radiation treatments which are used in cancer treatments, the transplants of stem cells act as

A replacement therapy: The malignant bone marrow of a sick individual is replaced by the cord tissue that is provided by a healthy donor. Many times during the treatment of cancer the bone marrow of a person gets destroyed due to radiation or chemotherapy. In such cases, a cord blood transplant is required for the introduction of stem cells that are new into a person's body. The bone marrow is reconstituted by these new cells.

Stem tissues which are extracted from Umbilical cord blood, are helping in the treatment of a lot of diseases which were previously thought to be incurable. Many of this disease is being cured completely due to stem cells. Stem tissues have brought a revolution in medical sciences.
