Helping Your Body Heal Itself
Often patients want simple, but a more specific understanding of how stem cells actually work. That’s good, because understanding stem cells is still unfolding. They are very complicated and sophisticated to understand.
What is a Stem Cell?
Basically, a stem cell is an undifferentiated cell that can become a new cell if needed for repair. They monitor blood cells and replace dying ones when needed. They create more fat cells when we keep overeating, because the food has to be stored. Good for winter, bad for just gaining weight. But, when a stem cell is placed in an injured or arthritic joint, they can help heal to a degree. All depending on how much is damaged. Stem cells are not normally in our joints, so on an evolutionary basis, we are meant to break down. Using stem cells to help the body heal itself is a useful way of understanding it.
