Cell therapies are medical treatments that use living cells to heal or replace damaged tissues and organs. These therapies can involve the use of cells from the patient’s own body, known as autologous cells, or cells from a donor, referred to as allogeneic cells. They are being researched and used for various conditions, including certain types of cancer, autoimmune diseases, and degenerative disorders.
One common type of cell therapy is stem cell therapy, which utilizes stem cells that have the potential to develop into different cell types. This approach aims to regenerate damaged tissues and improve the body’s ability to heal itself. As research advances, cell therapies hold promise for treating a wide range of diseases and improving patient outcomes.
