Exploring the Role of Stem Cells in Treating Degenerative Diseases Like Parkinson’s

Introduction

Degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease pose significant challenges to healthcare due to their progressive nature and the lack of effective treatments. Stem cells have emerged as a promising avenue for research and potential therapies aimed at reversing or halting the progression of these conditions.

Understanding Stem Cells

Stem cells are unique cells with the ability to differentiate into various cell types and self-renew. They are categorized into two main types:

• Embryonic Stem Cells: These cells are derived from early-stage embryos and can develop into any cell type in the body.
