Stem Cell Banking/ Cryoviva Preservation In India

                                        Stem Cell Banking 




All the organism on the earth is produced by a single cell only, the fertilized egg. Eventually,  the cell differentiates or undifferentiated to produce unicellular and multicellular organism respectively. Unicellular organism dies early because there are no possibilities to replace the dead or damaging cell and this is the plus point in a  multicellular organism that all dead, diseased and damaged cell cab be replaced medically.   Research has proved that in human,  it is possible to replace the damaged cell or diseased cell with the help of stem cell treatment.

What is Stem cell -  stem cell is a single hollow cell which has an ability to differentiate further to develop in a  functional organ or tissues of the body ( pluripotent )  like muscle cells, blood cells, etc.  As soon as the time flows multiple of the disease can be treated with the help of stem cells.

Type Of Stem Cell -  There are following type of stem cell used medically -

  •                                        Embryonic Stem Cell
  •                                        Adult Stem Cell
  •                                        Induced Pluripotent   Stem Cell
  •                                         Cord Blood Stem Cell 



Embryonic Stem Cell -  This one of the best stem cells comes from a human embryo of under five days of age.  The cell is of pluripotent nature that can be differentiated to turn into any type of cells of the body.   The technique to gain this type of cell is in vitro fertilization i.e.,  a  human embryo could be grown under artificial condition by taking the male and female gamete.

Adult Stem Cell -  Adult stem cells can be taken from either child or adult from a particular organ which further differentiates to develop into a cell of the same tissues or organs.  Like Haematopoietic cells which can able to develop any type of blood cell  - red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets or plasma cells.
Doctors used the hematopoietic cells or bone marrow cells for a very long time to treat blood-related disorders.

Induced Pluripotent cells -  Doctors are trying to change by means of the artificial method the adult stem cell into the pluripotent cell so that it can function in the same way as the embryonic stem cell does.
If this becomes a success then a person's skin cell can able to transplant to replace the damaging cell. This is the subject of an intern study.

Cord Blood Stem Cell -  After delivery, the blood from the umbilical cord are taken out by the doctor's to get umbilical cord stem cell which is used to treat a various genetic disorder of the family going since a long time.
Although We study more about this topic in my next blog where I will describe the further scope and how it can be done.

Stem Cell Banking - After the recovery of stem cells, the cells are taken out by stem cell banks for further preservation. Here I am describing you step by step that how the stem cell can be preserved  -



  1. Firstly, the stem cell is taken out of the body.
  2. after that further, their microbiological test or examination is conducted to remove further impurities.
  3. If the examination is successful then the cell is mixed with the cry protectant.
  4. The final process is to enclosed stem cells into a cryo - bag for future use.
  5. For this stem cell bank will charge you some money which you have to deposit yearly.

Sycon Canal System With Diagram

-
Image
                                     Canal system in Sycon  A sea creature called a sycon, or scypha , is usually found clinging to rocks or other surfaces. These creatures have tube-shaped bodies that open outward with the help of a hole called an Osculum . They have tiny openings called Spiracles and Ostia all over their bodies to let water in. This water flows through canals inside their bodies and comes out through the Osculum, which is a larger opening used for breathing. We'll observe the shape of this canal system, why it is essential for those animals, type of canal system , and  its significance. The Sycon Type Canal system is the unique feature of the phylum Porifera . This system is also known as the  aquiferous canal system . This system supports the significant function of the body like nutrition, respiration, excretion, etc. History Overview -  Gran...

Whittaker's Five Kingdom Classification | Biology Blog

Image
                                   Five Kingdom Classification Early biologists classified all species as either plants or animals. Since this method makes it difficult to research specific creatures, American taxonomist R.H. Whittaker created the five-kingdom classification in 1969. This system divides all organisms into groups based on how they are organized and how they are fed. Important standards for this classification include - The complexity of cell structure i.e. Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. The complexity of the Organisms body is Unicellular and Multicellular. Mode of nutrition Autotrophs and Heterotrophs. Lifestyle. Phylogenetic Relationship. Based on these criteria, Whittaker classified the living world into the following categories  - Kingdom Monera                 Kingdom Protista Kingdom Fungi Kingdom Animalia Ki...

How Many Types of Eggs In Animals

                                             Types of Egg Hello guys! We'll examine a crucial area of zoology in this blog: different varieties of eggs. So let's define reproduction first before moving on to the subject. Reproduction is the biological process in which a parent is responsible to produce their offsprings which may be of their own kind. Reproduction is a must process for every individual for the continuing existence of the species. As we all know, there are many different species on the planet, and each of them has a unique method of egg production and inside the egg they contain yolk . The yolk is composed of proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, which are vital for the growth and development of the embryo.  Eggs can be classified into different types based on the amount of yolk they contain. l.  On the basis of the amount of Yolk - Dep...
