Abstract EN
Stem cells have the potential to treat a wide range of diseases and conditions that plague millions of people around the world.
The unique characteristics of stem cells can teach us more about early human development.
Stem cell therapy is a treatment that replaces dysfunctional or diseased tissues with stem cells.
Globally, patients are actively being recruited to participate in clinical trials of these regenerative therapies.
Stem cell therapy may hold the key for treating incurable diseases in future.
There are advantages of using adipose tissue as a source of stem cells.
Adipose tissue is one of the richest sources of mesenchymal stem cells in the body.
Also it is very easy to obtain adipose tissue by liposuction.
Adipose derived stem cells have been proven to produce important growth factors for wound healing.
They modulate the immune system, decrease inflammation, and heal the injured tissues.
In this review, we compiled the latest data from 75 articles obtained from Google Scholar, PubMed Central (PMC), National Center for Biotechnology and Information (NCBI), US Department of Human and Health Services (HHS Public Access) and articles related to ethical perspectives taken from Saudi Arabian journals to highlight the importance of advanced stem cell research in the degenerative disorders prevalent in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
