Cell Therapy Impact Factor

There are more than 200 different types of specialized cells in the human body, such as muscle , bone or brain cells. These cells fulfill specific functions within the body, necessary for the health of an organism. Injury, illness, or ageing can lead to the loss of specialized cells in the body. In many cases such a loss is irreversible, meaning that healthy ones are no longer able to replenish the cells that have been diseased or lost. The purpose of cell therapy is to introduce new , healthy cells into a patient's body to replace those that are ill or missing. One challenge for this type of therapy is to have enough cells to transplant into a patient. This is because specialized cells, such as brain cells, are difficult to get out of the human body. Typically, specialized cells also have limited ability to multiply, making it difficult for certain cell therapies to produce enough required number of cells. Having stem cells can solve some of these problems
