A Brief Overview on Stem Cell and Toxicology | Chapter 03 | Issues and Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 5

 In 1956, undifferentiated cells were used for the first time in bone marrow transplants. Undeveloped cell science has advanced rapidly since the late 1990s, when embryonic undifferentiated cells were discovered in individuals. However, a large portion of the work in the field of stem cell science is focused on understanding normal human body development and disarrays, as well as toxicology screening (testing novel pharmaceuticals) [1].

Multipotent stem cells may be useful in the therapy of tissue that is unable to regenerate. This might be beneficial for injuries to the spinal cord and tactile organs, both of which have limited regeneration capabilities. Again, study on these specific cell types can assist scientists in developing therapy options for various issues, rather than just using stem cells to cure the illness [2].

The purpose of this chapter is to introduce stem cell toxicology, a new age of in vitro toxicology that offers effective and efficient alternatives to traditional toxicological testing.
