How much do you know about stem cells?

Pediatric cerebral palsy, with the number of people with this disorder rising every year, various techniques have emerged to treat the symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy. There are good ones and waive ones, and then there are the abusive ones. These methods dazzle the families of people with cerebral palsy, and they don’t know what to use, so they end up trying them one by one, using whatever works. As a result, many mild cases of pediatric cerebral palsy end up as severe cases, causing the child’s condition to drag on and on. I wonder what those unscrupulous and deceitful doctors are thinking? Nerve repair therapy: To put it bluntly, it is the “stem cell regeneration therapy” that science is now studying. Stem cell regeneration therapy is a form of treatment that is still in the exploration stage: Stem cell therapy refers to the transplantation or input of normal or genetically modified human cells directly into the patient’s body to replace damaged cells and treat the disease. Cell therapy using stem cells and their differentiated cells is an important research direction for clinical application of stem cells. However, so far stem cell therapy is still in the experimental stage. And there are many limitations and safety issues to be considered in stem cell therapy: 1. First of all, the rejection of human body should be eliminated. It is mainly caused by the incompatibility between our own antigens and foreign antigens. How to control the differentiation of stem cells and let the stem cells grow in the corresponding damaged parts is also a difficult problem to solve now; whether stem cell transplantation will cause cancer is still a problem to be solved. The ‘cancer stem cell’ theory suggests that stem cells and cancer cells share the same signaling pathways and regulatory factors in terms of proliferation regulation mechanisms, and that cancer may originate from abnormally activated stem cells. These are the problems in the current research of “stem cell therapy”. None of the scientists nowadays have worked out how to solve this problem. Therefore, the clinical application of “stem cell therapy” has been shelved, and it is forbidden to test it on human body. But now those unscrupulous doctors just change the soup but not the medicine and repackage “stem cell therapy” as “neurorepair therapy” to make money and cheat. This is a kind of unscrupulous behavior, which should be scolded and reprimanded by all of us. The above mentioned safety issues, stem cell therapy is likely to generate tumors due to incomplete differentiation and cause cancer in children. I wonder if parents have a clear understanding of this situation when they are treating their children with this “neuroprosthetic”. If the child ends up with cancer because of pediatric cerebral palsy, then we will lose more than we gain. Therefore, I hope that parents will pay attention to choosing the right method when treating their children with pediatric cerebral palsy. Don’t easily believe in some scammers’ claims.
