Question

Which is the biggest disadvantage of using adault stem cells for medical treatments

Answer 1

Answer:  Disadvantages: Adult stem cells have a determined cell type and cannot be changed into tissues that differ from the ones that they came from. This limits the cells by allowing them to be used only in procedures that involve the same type of tissue that they came from.

Explanation: They are difficult culture in vitro, impossible for some cell types, and they are fairly difficult to get using other methods because it requires a sample of the tissue that is specific to that cell type. Generally to get a sample of tissue it needs to be removed from the body, requiring surgery in most cases. Even when they are successfully cultured in-vitro, adult stem cells have a shorter life than embryonic stem cells.
