Human Mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs):
Derived from the stromal (connective) tissue of various organs and tissues in our body, hMSCs are the adaptable stars in the field of regenerative medicine. They can differentiate into bone, cartilage, muscle and fat cells, making them especially useful for a variety of applications, such as:
- Bone and Cartilage Regeneration:
hMSCs have shown promise in treating diseases such as osteoporosis and some types of arthritis.
- Degenerative Diseases in General
Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells offer hope for the treatment of a hoard of previously incurable diseases.
- Treatment of Autoimmune Diseases:
They have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, suggesting potential treatments for diseases such as multiple sclerosis or lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Tissue Repair:
hMSCs may aid in the repair of damaged tissue, potentially reducing recovery time after injury.
- PLANT STEM CELLS:
Although plants do not have bones or blood, their stem cells play a central role in growth and adaptation. Herein lies the magic of potential benefits for humanity:
- Skin care:
Plant stem cell extracts, such as apple or grape extracts, have become popular in cosmetic products, known for their anti-aging and skin-rejuvenating properties.
- Antioxidant properties:
Many plant stem cells have powerful antioxidant effects, which can help fight cell damage in humans.
Comparing the Two
Scope of treatment
hMSCs have a broader clinical or therapeutic scope due to their potential to become different types of human cells and to stimulate tissue healing within the human body, while plant stem cells offer more niche benefits, for example, skincare.
Application
Currently, hMSCs are used more in medical treatment and clinical trials, while plant stem cells are used more in the cosmetic industry.
