Stem cell research has been one of the most distinctive fields that have received not just recognition but enough response from the market as well. Since the stem cells have got the inherent quality of developing into many other types of cells, the medical field has found enough grounds to use them in recovery treatments. The Totipotent cells, also medically popular in the name of blastomeres, can actually develop over the years to form a new organ in itself. While the Pluripotent cells can easily develop into any type of cells, the multipotent cells can develop into a wide variety of them in a given lineage of epithelial cells.

Studying them is not just a time taking process, but it takes lot of funding to gather the stems from multiple sources. Alexander Potoczak is a research scholar who had made up his mind long back to make some distinct contribution to the medical world and for the welfare of the society. With years of education and more importantly dedication, he has been successful in carrying out multiple research works and have come up with some important facts about the stem cells. It’s no more a mystery that the stem cells can be used in recovering some of the diseases which might turn out to be fatal at times.

The Pluripotent cells generally include the embryonic stem cells and some of the stem cells from the umbilical cord, bone marrow and other specific locations. These specialized cells and the tissues abstracted from these regions can actually help in treating critical and complicated conditions like the Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, cancer, lateral sclerosis and even rheumatoid arthritis.

Even researches on stem cells have come up with the growth of the organs like heart, kidney, liver, and the pancreas. These brand new organs formed can be later used for transplanting purposes, a field where the entire medical world finds shortage of available replacements. Finally there might be instances when it might get possible to develop new organs from the stem cells that have been derived from the somatic cells of the individuals.

The skin cell on the first hand needs to be re-programmed to form an induced Pluripotent cell, and this further can be directed to become a liver, kidney, brain or any organ that might be needed. What the medical world has found out is that there’s a huge benefit of using the Pluripotent cells in developing the new organs, the donor and the receiver being the same individual. As a result of it, the blood group and other specifications can easily match and there’s hardly any hindrance in getting the entire procedure done completely.

Alexander Potoczak believes that there will be a time when the research on stem cells will be successful in leading developments in the gene therapy itself to rule out conditions like muscular dystrophy or Huntington’s disease. Where the world stands right now, the only obstacle for the development of these programs is the availability of mechanism for the replacement and delivery of the genes.

There’s no losing hope on Potoczak’s part. He believes that the slow yet steady steps of progress will actually one day find its own path to success.
