CD133 Clinical Trials: Safety and Efficacy

A single human body contains trillions of cells made up of several types based on physiology and function. There are types of cells that are linked to the fulfillment of specific physiological roles, for example neurons are signaling cells, bone cells are specialized in maintaining the integrity of the skeletal structure, while muscle cells are specialized in coordinating body movements. In addition to these specialized cells, there are other types of cells that apparently have no specific function. These cells can be led to acquire specific functions by differentiation. These cells are known as stem cells and can be defined as cells that have the ability to self-divide as well as to differentiate into specialized cells.
