Abstract
The escalating diabetes prevalence has heightened interest in innovative therapeutic strategies for this disease and its complications. Human amniotic epithelial stem cells (HAESCs), originate from the innermost layer of the placenta closest to the fetus and express stem cell markers in the amniotic membrane's umbilical cord attachment area, which have garnered significant attention. This article critically examines emerging research advancements and potential application values of hAESCs in treating diabetes and its complications. Initially, we will discuss the characteristics, origin, and advantages of hAESCs in differentiating into insulin-secreting cells. Subsequently, we will focus on the potential applications of hAESCs in treating diabetes complications such as diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, and diabetic neuropathy, etc. We will scrutinize the progress of relevant clinical studies and trials involving hAESC therapy. In conclusion, as an emerging diabetes treatment method, hAESCs exhibit immense potential and application value. Despite numerous challenges in practical application, we are confident that with scientific advancement and technological progress, hAESCs will play a pivotal role in treating diabetes and its related complications.
期刊介绍:
Human Cell is the official English-language journal of the Japan Human Cell Society. The journal serves as a forum for international research on all aspects of the human cell, encompassing not only cell biology but also pathology, cytology, and oncology, including clinical oncology. Embryonic stem cells derived from animals, regenerative medicine using animal cells, and experimental animal models with implications for human diseases are covered as well.
Submissions in any of the following categories will be considered: Research Articles, Cell Lines, Rapid Communications, Reviews, and Letters to the Editor. A brief clinical case report focusing on cellular responses to pathological insults in human studies may also be submitted as a Letter to the Editor in a concise and short format.
Not only basic scientists but also gynecologists, oncologists, and other clinical scientists are welcome to submit work expressing new ideas or research using human cells.
