Stem Cells Investigated
to Regenerate Damaged Myocardial Tissue:
It has been investigated that damaged myocardial tissues
can be regenerated by Embryonic stem cells and
Adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are
pluripotent, they can potentially give rise to the variety of cell types that
are involved in regenerating damaged myocardium, including cardiomyocytes,
endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells. Human Embryonic stem cells
differentiate into myocytes with the structural and functional properties of cardiomyocytes.
While undifferentiated Embryonic
stem cells serve as sources of specific cell used in myocardial repair, quality
control should be maintained with respect to the differentiated cells. Differentiated
cells that would be used to regenerate heart tissue for transplantation must be
purified before. If injected regenerative cells are accidentally contaminated
with undifferentiated transplantation cells, a tumor could possibly form as a
result of the cell transplant. Purification methodologies continue to improve human
Embryonic stem cell differentiation. This apprehension establishes the
scientific challenges that accompany the use of all human stem cells. These two
things Cell proliferation and differentiation requires basic research on the
molecular and genetic signals that regulate cell division and specialization. Once
cells have been transplanted, objectionable interactions between the host
tissue and the injected cells must be minimum. Those Cells or tissues derived
from Embryonic stem cells that are available for use in humans are not
tissue-matched to patients and thus would require immunosuppression to limit
immune rejection.
Stem cells hold potential as a therapy to regenerate
damaged myocardium. Cardiac dysfunction and the limited availability of tissue
for cardiac transplantation, stem cells could eventually accomplish a significant
need and recover the worth of life for millions of people. Thereby using these cells will provide clinicians a powerful
tool to repair a broken heart.
