MenSCs
MenSCs Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Stem cells are self-renewing and proliferate without differentiation, with the two major groups being embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and adult stem cells (ASC). Differentiation occurs under different conditions into different cell types. ESCs are from the inner cell mass of blastocysts while ASCs are deposited into adult tissues with restricted differentiation potency but also a lack of tumorigenicity.Menstrual blood-derived stem cells (MenSCs) are mesenchymal-like ASCs which are non-invasively derived from menstrual blood from the shed endometrium of a human female. These cells possess a high rate of proliferation and multi-lineage differentiation potency.
MenSCs are special compared to older methods of adult stem cell extraction such as bone marrow stem cell extraction because MenSC extraction is a non-invasive method. Because this is a non-invasive way to obtain stem cells, it is simple and easy to obtain the stem cells with an absence of ethical issues that may come from obtaining stem cells of the embryonic kind.

How MenSCs works
Mesenchymal stem cells have applications in research, therapeutic, and regenerative purposes. Similarly, MenSCs have previously demonstrated their ability to differentiate into adipocytes, cardiomyocytes, chondrocytes, hepatocytes, osteocytes, and pancreatic cells. Additionally, MenSCs express both pluripotency markers and mesenchymal stem cell-specific markers as well, making them potentially useful for research on differentiation and in regenerative medicine. MenSCs have also been shown to both induce and inhibit proliferation of natural killer (NK) cells, with inhibition occurring if the MenSCs were pre-treated with IFN-γ/IL-1β. Additionally, MenSCs can inhibit optimal maturation of monocyte-derived dendritic cells, and depending on the cell concentration, either stimulate or inhibit an allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction.
