Stem Cell in IVF

In the whole world, around 8% to 12% of couples tend to get affected by the curse of infertility. However, the recent evolution in medical science, especially in infertility treatment, has lowered the frequency of the issue massively. IVF is an alternative for them to have their baby with many inventions and innovations as well. Among the newly-developed modules, the introduction of stem cell IVF treatment has taken the world by storm. It is seemingly much more effective than the traditional procedure, as it can create undifferentiated cells without any complication.

Types of stem cells

The stem cells are generally classified into various categories. Some of these are as follows –

• Embryonic: This type of stem cells usually originates from human embryos, which are around 3-5 days old. A doctor can harvest them during in-vitro fertilization or, IVF, to cure the issue of infertility. The fertilization procedure of the same requires a laboratory environment instead of the body of a woman. These cells can create almost any type of functional cell in one’s body.
• Non-Embryonic: These cells usually originate from either a developed organ or a tissue in your body. Therefore, in most cases, they participate in the job of repairing the same tissue or organ when it is damaged. For example, hematopoietic stem cells generally stay in the bone marrow and help in producing new WBC, RBC, and any other type of blood cells. They can treat mild damage to the bones as well.
• Induced Pluripotent: These types of stem cells are created in a laboratory by scientists. They have a higher potential and can differentiate into almost any type of body cell. Due to this reason, doctors are currently trying to use it for curing infertility-related problems.
