Tissue engineering is a new breakthrough in medical field. Here, there are combination between biology science and engineering to create biological methode which can recover or replace the damage tissues. Bone marrow cells or peripheral blood cells have been cultured in laboratory, then the selected item from the culture will use to recover the damage tissues/organs.
Stem cells or progenitor cells are cells before differentiated with their ability to recover their damage continuously and unlimited by themselves. then, Stem cells differentiate into other cells. Stem cells can become neuron cells , heart cells, pancreatic cells, etc. Stem cell or progenitor cell has the potential to recover other damage tissue because of severe disease.
haemopoietic stem cell transplantation is blood stem cell or progenitor cell transplant procedure. Transplantation can between individuals or for himself.
Today, Blood stem cell transplant is usually used to :
- Recover bone marrow failure syndrome ( ex: leukemia, aplastic anemia, hereditery disorder, etc )
- Protect bone marrow from radiation or cytostatic chemotherapy with high dose (for example in Non Hodgkin limphoma )
- Enter the blood stem cell , gene therapy

For stem cell research we should have more openness in testing and funds availability to the organizations. Stem cell treatments are going play a major role and change way of medical sciences in the near future.
