Summary: Stem cells are illustrated above as various types, including embryonic and adult stem cells. Both are unique in that they transform into other types of human cells that repair damaged tissue. Given the unique properties of stem cells, they are currently being extensively studied for their abilities in reversing aspects of the aging process.
1. Stem cell therapeutic strategies have potential implications in the anti-aging process.
Description
Pluripotent stem cells have great potential for therapeutic uses in tissue regeneration and repair. Their abilities can help revert some of the diseases of aging.

2. The emergence of stem cell technology allows certain parts of the aging process to be reversed.
Description
Specific proteins are produced from adipose-derived stem cells (ASCS) that aid in various anti-aging processes including angiogenesis, cell proliferation, differentiation, cell survival, immunomodulation, and collagen degradation. Additionally, by injecting an adipose stem cell-conditioned medium, one may improve facial skin conditions by reversing age-related effects. Moreover, the clinical study conducted in 2017 demonstrated improved facial indexes including erythema and melanin when adipose-derived stem cells conditioned mediums (ASC-CM) and placenta-derived stem cells conditioned mediums (PSC-CM) were injected into facial skin.

3. Stem cell therapy can rejuvenate cells.
Description
Mesenchymal stem cell therapy is advantageous in delaying the aging process and sequential reversal of diseases related to aging.

4. Stem cell therapy can potentially result in significant improvements for humans and animals displaying certain neurological disorders.
Description
Stem cell therapies have a major role in the treatment of neurological diseases and possess a promising potential to mitigate neurological symptoms of diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, stroke, traumatic brain injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and multiple system atrophy. In 2014, clinical trials conducted on monkeys and rodents showed that transplanting stem cells into the brain allows them to assimilate within dopaminergic deficient regions. The research shows a recovering of the neural capacity through the release of neurotrophic factors.

5. Combination stem cell therapy is used to fight against heart failure.
Description
Patients with congestive heart failure have limited therapeutic options. Stem cell therapy can assist to mitigate damage and restore functionality.

6. Curcumin may be a natural stem cell booster.
Description
Curcumin is a natural compound in turmeric that possesses anti‐inflammatory and regenerative properties which aid in promoting the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells.

7. The ability of stem cells to turn into any cell type is extraordinary and has profound health implications.
Description
Stem cell therapy has revolutionized the pharmaceutical industry, as it can regenerate cells, tissues, and treat many diseases.
