Based on the results of a pilot project conducted by scientists in the City of Hope Medical Center, Duarte, California, concluded that Stem Cell therapy can restore the body's immune system which was damaged because of HIV Infection back to its normal condition.
Techniques that have been found leading to genetic modification from a small part of the patients's stem cell with genes that target the HIV virus, this is then bring the possibility to get immunity in cells and accelerate immunity cells replication.
Experiments conducted on five patients with HIV shows improvement of patient's condition , in which primary cells can grow and produce new white blood cells (WBCs), or leukocytes (also spelled "leucocytes") to fight HIV. However, this method is still in the process of further research.
Stem Cell taken from the patient and injected back that can replace and restore the damaged heart cells, liver, kidney, or pancreas so that become better. Cells used called CD34+ cells. This cell can change itself and regenerated into the form of mature cells.
Stem cell can be taken from the patient's own body (autotransplant), or taken from other human beings (allotransplant) or from other types of mammals (xenotranplant) and then to be injected back into the patient's body.
Stem Cell is a type of human cell / mammals which still has the ability to self-cleave that useful to maintain tissues functions in the body, eg, heart muscle or also called cardiac muscle, liver tissue, kidney cells, and even brain cells./span>
