Prospect of Stem Cell Therapy and Nanotechnology

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Engineering Materials for Stem Cell Regeneration

Abstract

This chapter brings light to the recent advances made in stem cell nanotechnology. The introductory chapter emphasizes that stem cells can go on dividing and multiplying unlimitedly. In the early stages of embryo development, the embryonic stem cells are formed and are the most potent. In contrast, adult stem cells are present throughout life with less potency. Subsequently, induced pluripotent stem cells are adult stem cells that are reprogrammed to revert to a stem cell analogous to embryonic stem cells. The advancement of stem cell therapy has developed as a very assuring and advanced research subject. This has recently produced treatment plans that have tremendous prospects. The interplay of nanomaterials and stem cells has led to significant discoveries that have made it an innovative technology in regenerative medicine and material science. Furthermore, this chapter describes how nanomaterials’ structural properties can affect stem cells’ proliferation and differentiation. Some of the nanomaterials, such as magnetic nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, and quantum dots, are developed to deliver drugs or genes to stem cells and are briefly discussed. The diversity of opportunities associated with stem cell therapy and biomaterials makes them ideal candidates, offering treatment for terminal disorders.
