Заместительная клеточная терапия

Cell replacement therapy is regarded as a way of correcting functional incompetence of organs and tissues in their injury. This area has been identified as an independent clinical discipline. Intensive studies of the biological stem cells (SCs) have provided strong evidence for the universal flexibility of these cells that were able to repopulate damaged tissues. Today's capabilities have substantially kept ahead of the level of our knowledge about the biology of SCs. However, incontrovertible warranties as to the biological safety of grafting of these cells have not been obtained so far. In this connection, it is proposed to stimulate resident SCs of adult tissues in injury, by creating conditions for realizing their regeneration potential.
