ABSTRACT

A comprehensive review is conducted to examine the advancements and prospective opportunities of stem cell therapies in the field of regenerative medicine. Investigation of stem cells, including those obtained from embryos, adults, and induced pluripotent cell lines, has unprecedented potential in the management of many diseases such as diabetes, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular disease. Despite the current challenges, including ethical considerations and regulatory restrictions, stem cell therapies have already shown effectiveness in clinical environments. The review analysed current developments, ongoing research, and ethical concerns, while also outlining the anticipated future advances in stem cell-based medicines that might significantly revolutionise healthcare.
