Accelerated Biosciences - Stem Cells
Stem cells possess two defining characteristics that give potential to address unmet medical needs in healthcare: 1) the ability to self-replicate throughout the life of an organism and 2) the ability to differentiate to many different cell types in the human body.
Using stem cells for regenerative medicine offer the hope for cures for diseases spanning the entire human body. For example, stem cells may restore vision for aged related macular degeneration, repair damaged heart muscle after a heart attack, restore motion after spinal cord injury and regenerate pancreatic tissue to produce insulin for diabetics. Many therapies are currently going through clinical trials.
Using stem cells in regenerative medicine is potentially a paradigm-changing platform still in its early stages.
