Can fetal stem cells be harvested without destroying the embroy?

1 Answer

Answered on 23rd May '24

Yes so the process of extracting fetal stem cells from the embryo can destruct the embryo. This is because the cells are usually obtained from the inner cell mass of the embryo, which is a stage of development where the embryo is destroyed in the process. Alternative sources of stem cells, such as adult stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), have been developed to overcome some of the ethical concerns associated with using fetal stem cells.

6 months post stem cell transplant what to expect?

Male | 34

Gradual recovery and improved immune function can be observed about six months post-stem cell transplant. Most transplant-related side effects should wear off, and your energy might improve too. Regular sessions with your medical care team will keep track of progress and you can possibly resume activities to normal levels. Individual recovery can often differ and the guidance from your Doctor for further care and modifications to your lifestyle should not be neglected.

My mom has motor neurone disease will i get it ?

Female | 20

The risk of inheriting Motor Neuron Disease (MND) depends on the specific genetic mutations. Having a parent with MND does not guarantee that you will develop the condition, as the majority of cases are sporadic. If there is a known genetic mutation in the family, genetic counseling can provide more information about the risk.

Can stem cell cure high blood pressure?

Male | 48

So far stem cell therapy is not an established cure for high blood pressure. The evidence seems to suggest that stem cells may potentially have applications in the area of cardiovascular health and yet, the precise mechanisms involved as well as how effective it is could be used when treating hypertension are not fully understood. Current high blood pressure treatments are mainly through lifestyle changes and drugs to control the condition. It is important to discuss this matter with medical specialists in order to look at more verified and proven methods of regulating blood pressure, as the use of stem cells for managing it is not very advanced yet.

Life expectancy after stem cell transplant?

Female | 41

Life after the stem cell transplant also varies greatly and depends on many factors such as medical condition prior to the operation, age of patient, general health status before when during and after it was done with good results. Stem cell transplants are capable of leading to very long-standing remission or even cure for a few diseases, mainly hematological malignancies in such situations. However, implantation as a procedure itself is associated with risks and complications; results vary for each individual. First and foremost, close monitoring by well-trained doctors assisting in post transplant care as well as regular follow up is essential for optimizing long term outcomes. It is necessary to address peculiar expectations and prognosis with your healthcare works, as they can offer the most precise information considering specific conditions.
