Is it possible to regenerate human body organs through its umbilical cord if stored?
Answers
Answer:
No because umbilical cord is that which can't regenerate human body organs
Explanation:
Yes, it is possible to regenerate human organs through the umbilical cord.
This is because, the blood cells present in the umbilical cord are totipotent in nature, i.e cells which are capable of differentiating into cells of different type(i.e those capable of performing different roles) and has an unlimited capacity. This is the reason behind the preservation of the umbilical cord after the birth of a child. It is known to have improved the chances of curing diseases like sickle cell anemia, leukemia, cancers etc. (Stem cells are also found in the bone marrow). These cells have proven to be effective in transplantation too! As for complete human organ regeneration, stem cells are being considered as a potential candidate in compensating for inefficient or rather a complete loss of organ functioning. In fact, this idea is the very foundation of regenerative medicine. Tissue regeneration with the aid of stem cells is being experimented upon in a few countries and might be in practice in a wider proportion of countries sometime In the near future.
