Stem cell therapy. Artwork showing stem cells (in green cylinder) being added to a patients bloodstream in the region of the liver (brown). A stem cell is a precursor cell that is capable of differentiating to form specialised cell types. Stem cell therapies for liver disorders such as cirrhosis involve obtaining stem cells from bone marrow. These stem cells can then be added to either the portal vein (blue) or hepatic artery (red). The stem cells are then taken up by the liver, where they develop into new liver cells that replace the function lost from liver damage

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Stem Cell Therapy" beautifully illustrates the potential of stem cells in treating liver disorders such as cirrhosis. The print showcases a green cylinder representing stem cells being introduced into a patient's bloodstream, specifically targeting the region of the liver depicted in brown. Stem cells, known as precursor cells, possess an incredible ability to transform into specialized cell types within our body. In this case, stem cell therapy involves obtaining these remarkable cells from bone marrow and introducing them either through the portal vein or hepatic artery – represented by blue and red respectively. Once inside the liver, these transplanted stem cells are assimilated and undergo development into new liver cells. This regenerative process aims to replace lost function caused by damage to this vital organ. The white background emphasizes the significance of this medical breakthrough while highlighting its artistic representation. This illustration not only serves as a visual masterpiece but also educates viewers about the physiological aspects behind stem cell therapy for liver diseases like cirrhosis. Science Photo Library has expertly captured both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal in this thought-provoking piece. It reminds us of the immense potential that lies within our own bodies for healing and regeneration when harnessed through innovative medical treatments like stem cell therapy.
