줄기세포의 특징

줄기세포는 어떤 특징이 있나요

자기재생

Self Renewal

 줄기세포는 자기재생능력을 가지고 있습니다
 세포분열을 통해 자기와 동일한 능력을 가진 줄기세포를 만들어냅니다
 이를 통해 적은 양의 줄기세포로도 오랫동안 재생효과를 유지할 수 있습니다

Stem Cells can self-renew.
Stem cells divide into stem cells
with the same capacity as cells
through cell division.

This allows
long-term regenerative effects
even with a small amount of stem cells.

분화능

Differentiation

 줄기세포는 분화능을 가지고 있습니다
 어떤 세포로도 분화가능한 전능성(Totipotency), 태아나 성체의 모든 세포로 분화하는 만능성(Pluripotency), 제한된 세포로만 분화하는 다능성(Multipotency)
 국내에서 상용화된 성체줄기세포는 다능성 줄기세포입니다

Stem cells have differentiation capacity.
Totipotency
that can differentiate into any cell,
Pluripotency to differentiate
into any adult cells or embryo,
and Multipotency to differentiate
into limited cells.

Adult stem cells used for treatment
in Korea are pluripotent stem cells.

호밍효과

Homing Effect

 우리 몸에는 스스로 치유하는 능력이 있습니다
 우리가 질병에 걸려 수술하게 되면 자연적으로 회복하는 시간이 필요합니다
 수술 후 회복이 필요한 장기나 기관에서 신호를 보내면 이미 몸 속에 있는 줄기세포가 찾아가 재생치료를 하게 되는데 이를 호밍효과라고 합니다

Our bodies have the ability
to heal themselves.
When we get sick and have surgery,
we need time to recover naturally.

When a signal is sent from an organ
that needs to be recovered after surgery,
the stem cells in the body
go to the regeneration treatment,
which is called the homing effect.
