Transplant or stem cell transplant or stem cells (stem cells) is a new breakthrough in medicine. But research on stem cell always inviting debate and controversy. Stem cell technique is believed to cure various illnesses during this difficult unsolved such as cancer, leukemia, diabetes to Alzheimer's. Moreover, if the stem cells were derived from embryonic stem cells (human embryo).
How efficacious stem cell technique could cure various diseases? Based on the source, stem cells most widely used of embryonic stem cells or embryonic stemcells (from embryos less than 3 months old) and adult stem cells (Adult stemcells). Less like the stem cell researchers adults (Adult stemcells) because there is limited cell networks and take a long time to regenerate tissue cells. But adult stem cells does not damage the organs because only a few tissue cells taken.
Stem cells are commonly used embryonic stem cells, the stem cells derived from human embryos. How could of aborted embryos, embryos from IVF that failed, or cloning. Stem cells or embryonic stem cells are cells that grow in the development of early human embryos that would become the various human organs.
Stem cells from aborted embryos or cloning controversy reap is what is considered unethical because, intentionally abortionist. From the religious side also has not been given the green light. To reduce controversy researchers are now using embryos from IVF that failed. Researchers also now choose to use your baby's cord that has been born. Efficacy of umbilical cord stem cell bank this baby make baby's cord is quickly growing.
"Embryonic stem cells can be obtained through the umbilical cord of newborn babies," says Dr. Med Hardi Susanto, SPOG, gynecology specialists Siloam Hospitals Kebon Jeruk, the show One Day Scientific Symposium on 'Advances in Stem Cell and monoclonal antibodies' in Hotels Borobudur, Jakarta, Saturday (08/05/2010).
According to Dr. Hardi, baby's cord can be privately owned, where the owner can store the cord blood and the use of 'saving' umbilical cord to the interests of the owner himself. Or even a bank for umbilical cord can be made public, making it easier again for the public to get the umbilical cord to be used as a drug.
Umbilical cord blood can be used 100 percent by dipemiliknya, 60 percent for the siblings, 50 percent for the biological mother, 10 percent for the birth father, and others can use it when the HLA (human leukocyte antigen) match those stem cells.
Currently only 1:1000 to 1:200.000 who want to store umbilical cord blood for personal needs.
Why should the cord blood stored?
Hardi dr explained that cord blood contains many hematopoietic stem cells are the stem cells (HSCs).
Hematopoietic stem cells are multipotent stem cells that generate all blood cell types including myeloid (monocytes, basofil and macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, micronucleated, megakaryocytes / platelets, dendritic cells) and lymphoid lineage (T-, B-cells, NK cells) .
Apart from the baby's umbilical cord blood, basically all parts of the body can be used as stem cells, but not all parts of the body, stem cells can be retrieved easily.
According drg Ferry Sandra, DDS., PhD., Director of the Stem Cell & Cancer Institute, which is usually used as another source of stem cells is bone marrow, peripheral blood, amniotic fluid, placenta, adipose tissue, blood menstuasi, and teeth. Potent stem cells to cure various diseases during this difficult to solve because these stem cells can be transformed into specific cells they occupy.
According to Prof. Thomas Muller, MD, PhD from Insttitute for transfusion Medicine, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (MHH), Germany, which is also a guest speaker seminars, various diseases can be cured with stem cells, among others:
1. Various types of cancer such as breast and liver cancer
2. Heart disease
3. Blood disorders like leukemia and limphoma
4. Autoimmune disorders
5. Blindness
6. Burn
7. Diabetes
8. Osteoporosis
9. Alzheimer's
10. Parkinson's
11. Pancreas disease
