Did You Get Your Stem Cells Today
By J Schipper

Stem cells, undifferentiated or poorly differentiated cells obtained from fetal or other tissues, show great promise in treating many different diseases.

Stem cells derived from the patient, also called autologous cells, are slightly more specialized than the very primitive stem cells in fetal tissue, but they are easier to obtain and certainly more plentiful. Several studies indicate that these cells offer great hope in treating disease. Using autologous cells eliminates the risk of rejection, graft versus host reaction or disease transmission and avoids ethical concerns.
