Title: Introduction to Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Multipotent Autologous and Allogeneic Therapy
1- An Introduction To Stem Cells
- Presented By the Stem Cell Center of Thailand
2An Introducing Stem Cells
3Overview
This presentation about stem cells is intended as
a tool for educators, scientists, science
communicators. Not all the slides will be useful
for any one occasion. Choose the ones most
suitable for your audience, mix them with your
own slides, or just use the diagrams.
- Contents
- Stem cell biology basics For school students
aged 16, or adult public with little or no
scientific knowledge - Cloning For adult public with little or no
scientific knowledge initial slides also
suitable for students aged 16 - Stem cell biology in more detail For informed
non-specialist audiences, e.g. clinicians,
scientists working in fields other than stem cell
biology and regenerative medicine
Presentation notes Each slide in the Basics and
Cloning sections includes notes that give a
simple, jargon-free explanation of the key
points. The slides in the last section have less
notes and assume some knowledge of stem cell
science. Please visit the site for more details
including stem cell conference schedules,
clinical trials and medical journals. Further

4Basics of Stem Cell Biology
5A life story
6What Is A Stem Cell?
7What Is A Stem Cell?
8Why Self-renew AND Differentiate?
1 stem cell
4 specialized cells
1 stem cell
Differentiation - replaces dead or damaged cells
throughout your life
Self renewal - maintains the stem cell pool
9Where Are Stem Cells Found?
Adult stem cells fetus, baby and throughout life
embryonic stem cells blastocyst - a very early
embryo
10Types of Stem Cell 1) Embryonic stem cells Esc
11Embryonic stem (ES) cells Where we find them
12Embryonic stem (ES) cells What they can do
embryonic stem cells
PLURIPOTENT
13Embryonic stem (ES) cells Challenges
embryonic stem cells
14Types of stem cell 2) Tissue or Adult Stem
Cells
15Adult stem cells Where we find them
skin
muscles
16Adult stem cells What they can do
blood stem cell
differentiation
found in bone marrow
only specialized types of blood cell red blood
cells, white blood cells, platelets
MULTIPOTENT
17Other Types of stem cell 3)Induced pluripotent
(iPS) stem cells
18Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells)
Advantage no need for embryos!
19Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells)
genetic reprogramming
pluripotent stem cell (iPS)
cell from the body (skin)
20Stem Cell Glossary/Terms
Potency A measure of how many types of
specialized cell a stem cell can
make Pluripotent Can make all types of
specialized cells in the body
Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent Multipotent
Can make multiple types of specialized cells,
but not all types Tissue stem cells are
multipotent OTHERS Totipotent Stem Cells and
Oligopotent Cell Lines and Unitpotent
21Cell Cloning
22Cloning
There are two VERY different types of cloning
23Reproductive cloning
24Molecular cloning Principles
25Molecular cloning Applications
26Stem Cell Biology in Detail
27Tissue Stem cell Types And Hierarchies
28Tissue stem cells Principles of renewing tissues
Stem cell
- stem cell
- self renew
- divide rarely
- high potency
- rare
29Tissue stem cells Haematopoietic stem cells
(HSCs)
HSC
bone marrow
30Tissue stem cells Neural stem cells (NSCs)
NSC
Brain Injuries
specialized cells
31Tissue stem cells Adipose stem cells (ASCs)
GSC
Small intestine or Fat
32Tissue stem cells Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)
MSC
bone marrow
33The Stem Cell Niche
34Stem cell niches
Niche Microenvironment around stem cells that
provides support and signals regulating
self-renewal and differentiation
stem cell
