WHAT ARE STEM CELLS? Different Types & Uses of Stem Cells

Hello everyone and welcome to today’s video all about stem cells! I wanted to give you a broad but detailed overview of their biology. It will cover the different types of stem cells (embryonic stem cells, iPSCs and adult stem cells) and what we mean by potency, as well as how they divide and their uses, including for regenerative medicine! I hope you enjoy this video and find it useful to help with your studies or if you’re just curious 🧬

    "The deeper you go into a topic, the easier it is to lose sight of the bigger picture" 1000% - I get so frustrated when we expect people to understand the minutia of research without ever bothering to explain the concept. Like COOL -IFN-Y contributes to scheduled cell death and apoptosis in MET formation.... now what the heck does that even mean? If we want people to be interested in science, WE have to get better at communicating that science. Love the video - keep going!

    ah no! I tried to simplify things but I’d say this was pretty complex in places. just because it’s hard to simplify concepts sometimes without losing the key details! anyway, I’m sure if you watch it again and pause it throughout to let you mind digest the material then it will make more sense! 😊

    iPSCs are truly amazing, I’m going to work with them a lot for my Master thesis. I have already briefly done it before, but culturing them is quite a lot of effort. Looking forward to it a lot, because I will also differentiate them into organoids. Currently discussing with the PI on whether I’m also allowed to do some gene editing with CRISPR-HOT. Oh and: You did an amazing job explaining all the concepts, extremely well-explained 😃

    Sorry to break it to you, but iPSCs have their own problems. First, they cannot be put into a patient undifferentiated - they cause teratomas (cancer). Second, they have to be pre-differentiated in a culture dish. This means they, so far, can only treat diseases that involve 1 cell type, such as macular degeneration. Third, iPSCs differentiate into the fetal form of cells, which are often useless in an adult. Finally, since they were derived from the person, it was thought that iPSCs would not be rejected by the patient’s immune system. However, several studies have shown that the immunology of the iPSCs change while in culture and that they can be, and often are, rejected by the immune system. Endogenous adult telomerase positive stem cells are much better than iPSCS.
