What Are Adult Stem Cells

Up until 2006, stem cell research was a very controversial topic, which is limited by many for using stem cells destroyed the embryos. These stem cells are called embryonic stem cells which are derived from from blastocysts, or human embryos between three and five days old.

However, in 2006 a revolution in the field of research was made. Scientists discovered a way to essentially “rewire” adult stem cells, causing them to turn into pluripotent cells once again. Pluripotent simply means having many potentialities. This discovery allowed scientists to perform experiments without using human embryos. Since then, research has made several astounding leaps forward.



The best part about using adult stem cells is that there are virtually zero side effects. It has been used for nearly 10 years in the treatment of cerebral palsy, and research has shown that it has also been effective in the treatment of over 130 other diseases such as multiple sclerosis, autism, diabetes, liver cirrhosis and many other diseases and ailments.

Stem cell center of the General Hospital of Armed Police Forces, China has been achieved incredible results in treating central nervous system diseases such as cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, autism, multiple system atrophy, motor neuron disease etc. The application of stem cell treatment has winned approval of WHO and US FDA.
