Stem cells have the significant latent to develop into many different cell types in the body. Serving as a sort of repair system for the body, they can multiply without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person is alive. When a stem cell multiplies, every new cell has the latent to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more dedicated function, such as a brain cell or a red blood cell. Research on stem cells is advancing information about how an organism develops from a single cell and how healthy cells substitute damaged cells in adult organisms. This promising area of science leading scientists to explore the possibility of cell-based therapies to treat diseases, which referred as regenerative or reparative medicine. The vast opportunity in medicine is regenerative medicine wherein stem cell therapy is going to play a major role. This review highlights the stem cell therapies that have potential to cure numerous life threatening diseases as well future perspectives in the area of stem cell research.
