The Present Technology of Stem Cells and Nerve Regeneration
Stem Cells are unspecialized and have the ability to become any tissue or organ-specific cells with specialized functions. Once they are capable of unlimited cell division, even if they were mature for an extended period of time. With tests done with dopamine cells in the 1990s, research looked promising coming into current day promising and tests had been done with lab rats with damaged peripheral nerve cells. The advancements we need involve branching out a similar technology to a more complex region. With RhoA, which inhibits nerve regeneration, we need to regress these effects with another chemical. With the studies that have been conducted at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Pittsburgh, there are a lot of promising opportunities with stem cell technology.
