Do you know How Stem Cells Treat Various Difficulty Diseases?

How Stem Cells Treat Various Difficulty Diseases?
Stem cells are found in most, if not all, multi-cellular organisms. They are characterized by their ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types.
The mechanisms of how stem cells can treat different kinds of diseases vary, for example, in the treatment of neurological diseases such as cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury,traumatic brain injury, motor neuron disease, multiple system atrophy etc., the stem cells after implantation, have several ways to repair the damaged areas including:
1) The stem cells can secrete nutritional elements and provide nourishment to the neural cells and tissue.
2) The stem cells can locate together around the damaged area and prevent any further damage.
3) The stem cells can differentiate into similar cells such as neurons, neurogliocytes, oligodendrocytes, etc., in the surrounding tissue once they are injected into the patient's body and locate to the specific area of damage.
4) The stem cells can attend to the rebuilding of the patient's damaged neural network, improving the overall functioning.
5) The stem cells carry normal gene systems which after implantation, have the ability to repair the patient's genetic disorder and produce normal proteins, correcting the deficiency.
6) Once the stem cells survive and differentiate inside the patient's body, they will maintain the repairing process throughout the person's lifetime.
