You can think of adult stem cells as our built-in repair kits, regenerating cells damaged by disease, injury and everyday wear and tear. These undifferentiated cells reside among other differentiated cells in a tissue or organ; they divide and become specialized to repair or replace the surrounding differentiated cells
Multipotent stem cell in the adult body Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells, found throughout the body after development, that multiply by cell division to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissues.
An adult stem cell is thought to be an undifferentiated cell, found among differentiated cells in a tissue or organ. The adult stem cell can renew itself and can differentiate to yield some or all of the major specialized cell types of the tissue or organ
There are several ways adult stem cells can be isolated, most of which are being actively explored by our researchers. 1) From the body itself:Scientists are discovering that many tissues and organs contain a small number of adult stem cells that help maintain them. Adult stem cells have been found in the brain, bone marrow, blood vessels, skeletal muscle, skin, teeth, heart, gut, liver, and other (although not all) organs and tissues.

Thefirst-in-human, universal chimeric receptor antigen (CAR) T-cell (CAR-T)therapy GC027 was tolerable and resulted in antileukemic responses amongpatients with relapsed/refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL),according to results from a phase 1 trial presented at the American Associationfor Cancer Research (AACR) Virtual Annual Meeting I 2020.1 Theuniversal CAR T cells target CD7, which, according to Xinxin Wang, PhD, ofGracell Biotechnologies Co, Ltd, in China, and lead author and presenter of thestudy, is a good target for T-ALL because it is expressed by more than 95% ofT-ALL patients. GC027 isallogeneic, which may prevent the development of graft-versus-host disease. Theproduct is introduced using lentivirus for rapid elimination of T-ALL cells.
For Immediate Release: April 22, 2020 Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval to Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) for the treatment of adult patients with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Patients must have received at least two prior therapies before taking Trodelvy.
