The word stem comes from the idea of origin — the stem from which everything else grows. Because a stem cell carries multipotency, it can regenerate cells in an injured area of the body.
Stem cells have emerged as a new alternative for degenerative conditions and severe trauma where conventional medicine has few options, and they attract particular attention as an approach to diseases where organ function has declined.
The era after the pandemic is, in many ways, an era of living alongside viruses. Extracting and preserving healthy adult stem cells while you are young and well builds the capacity to face disease later — one-to-one personalised cell storage is no longer an option, it is a necessity.
