Stem cells themselves, cells made from stem cells, processed cell products, and cell-derived components—what is actually administered and what to confirm beforehand.
The two abilities of stem cells — self-renewal and differentiation — and how they differ from ordinary cells.
Regenerative medicine aims to repair and regenerate cells, tissues, and organs damaged by illness or injury — and stem-cell therapy is one of its methods.
Stem cells come in several kinds that differ in origin, differentiation range, and research use — ES cells, iPS cells, and somatic stem cells.
Regenerative medicine is not just 'putting stem cells in' — it supplies cells, builds tissue, and draws out the body's own repair capacity.
