Stem cells can be naturally isolated from a variety of human or animal tissues and organs and can also be artificially produced in the laboratory. Generally Stem cells are isolated from; bone marrow, adipose tissue, dental pulp, synovial fluid, parathyroid, thymus, placenta, amniotic fluid, umbilical cord, cord blood, periodontal ligament, Wharton gel, skin, and so on. In this unit, stem cells from human tissues and organs are isolated, cultured and subjected to various tests and characterization experiments are performed to prove that they are Stem cells. These include human-induced mesenchymal stem cells, neural stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, cancer stem cells, various cancer cell lines, isolation, culture and characterization of healthy tissue cell lines. In addition, cell culture stages of all basic and pre-clinical research, development and project studies with human source cells with isolation and characterization are performed in this unit.
