Stem cells are non-differential cells or with low differential degree found in both embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues. They may remain in quiescence state until adulthood, through self-replication, or may be different in several tissues, depending on the expression of certain genes. Thus, they may perform specific functions. Many studies have been addressed for the use of those cells in the therapy of several diseases, and the recent results have been quite promising. Many authors believe that the stem cells represent the therapy of the future and that it may provide the cure for some diseases such as diabetes, cardiopathies, cancer and Alzheimer disease.Downloads
