Stem Cells

Stem cells are small amount of cells that creates other cells through mitosis, stem cells are unspecialized cells that can specialize themselves into specific functions. It is used in medicine to repair damaged cells in our bodies that our bodies can't repair by themselves, some damage in our bodies can't be repaired because we can't produce the right cell to repair it, and so stem cells with their specific functions can be the right cell to repair it. In the e-textbook it's said that it was able to reverse the effects of brain injury on mice, so if this method of implanting stem cells as a treatment works for human then the future of the medical world will be very good because these injuries that used to be untreatable can now be treatable by the use of stem cells. Stem cell treatments uses stem cells to replace the damage cells, but in wikipedia it's also said that it could have a side effect, but very minimal. So I think it's good to support this new treatment because brain injuries are very serious and so anything being able to treat it should always be supported.
