Abstract or project description
This research aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy, safety, and practicality of three different stem cell sources for applications in regenerative medicine: adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs), and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in regenerative medicine. This will be a review paper that evaluates the collection methods, availability, and harvesting complexity of each stem cell source, along with their differentiation potential and ability to integrate into tissues. Cost, time, and therapeutic outcomes will be analyzed to provide a comprehensive understanding of each therapy's effectiveness. The paper will focus on common treatment targets such as coronary artery disease, osteoarthritis, wounds, and Parkinson’s disease, evaluating patient comfort, treatment duration, and aftereffects. Additionally, ethical considerations surrounding each stem cell type will be discussed. The goal is to inform clinical decision-making and guide future research by offering a detailed comparison of these stem cell therapies.
