STEM CELLS IN TISSUE REGENERATION: HISTOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES AND CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Stem cells play a pivotal role in tissue regeneration due to their unique ability to self-renew and differentiate into various specialized cell types. Histological studies provide essential insights into the morphology, behavior, and integration of stem cells within different tissue environments. This paper reviews the histological characteristics of stem cells and their niches, emphasizing their regenerative potential in organs such as the heart, liver, skin, and nervous system. Additionally, the clinical applications of stem cell therapies in regenerative medicine are discussed, highlighting current advances, challenges, and future prospects. Understanding the histological basis of stem cell function is crucial for developing effective treatments for degenerative diseases and tissue injuries.
