All tissues and organs in our body are differentiated from stem cells, and theoretically, any tissue and organ that is damaged can be repaired by stem cells - cartilage is damaged, and stem cells can be "guided" to differentiate into chondrocytes to repair cartilage; Diabetes is caused by a problem with the cells that produce insulin, and it can also be ...... by allowing stem cells to "transform" into functional cells that produce insulin
As the most promising means of regenerative medicine, stem cells are widely used in a variety of diseases, and many patients with refractory diseases have benefited from stem cells
1. The first case of mesenchymal stem cells** lupus erythematosus in Hunan
The Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of the Second Xiangya Hospital successfully performed umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on two patients with refractory systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and the expected results were achieved. The use of this technology in refractory systemic lupus erythematosus is the first case in Hunan.

The first case of autologous umbilical cord blood ** cerebral palsy in Shenzhen
When the premature baby Lele (pseudonym) was 3 months old, he was found to have his head tilted back significantly and would not turn over, and was diagnosed with cerebral palsy after a detailed examination. Subsequently, the child completed an autologous umbilical cord blood transplant at the Department of Hematology and Oncology of Shenzhen Children's Hospital. This is the first case of autologous umbilical cord blood transfusion in a child with cerebral palsy in Shenzhen, and after **, the child's muscle tone has been relieved and gross motor development has improved significantly.

3. The world's first case of placental stem cells** aplastic disorder anemia
In 2013, a 9-year-old rural girl in Qian'an City, Hebei Province, suffered from aplastic disorder anemia in the 307th Hospital of the People's Liberation Army**. In March 2014, with the consent of the child's parents, 307 Hospital extracted hematopoietic stem cells from the placenta of the girl's newly-born sister combined with umbilical cord hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation**, and the child was discharged after **, and the hematopoietic function has returned to normal and his health is stable. This is also the world's first placental hematopoietic stem cell combined with umbilical cord hematopoietic stem cell transplantation** severe aplastic anemia was successful.

4. The world's first case of autologous umbilical cord blood** leukemia in children
This is the first time that a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has been successfully transplanted with autologous cord blood at a hospital in Illinois, USA. The child was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 3, the hospital first took chemotherapy, and then the central nervous system**, through systematic chemotherapy to obtain a second remission, in 2006, the doctor transfused her with the umbilical cord blood that her parents had saved for her after she was born, four months later, her blood counts returned to normal, and a year later, the bone marrow examination showed normal hematopoiesis, and she was in good health.

5. The world's first stem cell repair ovarian conceived baby was born
Ms. Fang was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure by many hospitals, and went to many major hospitals across the country to seek medical treatment. In December 2015, the clinical team of Professor Sun Haixiang from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital performed the first stem cell intraovarian transplantation for Ms. Fang. Postoperative follow-up showed that Ms. Fang's ovarian blood flow improved significantly. In 2016, Ms. Fang underwent two more stem cell transplants. In May 2017, it was confirmed that Ms. Fang's ovarian function had mostly recovered, and she successfully conceived naturally that month. At 9:20 a.m. on January 12, 2018, 34-year-old Ms. Fang successfully gave birth to a 297 kg healthy baby boy. This is the world's first healthy baby conceived by stem cells to repair premature ovarian failure in women.

6. The world's first case of stem cell ** meniscus injury
The Department of Medicine of Tongji Hospital successfully implemented the world's first minimally invasive application of human embryonic stem cell differentiated functional cells for meniscus injury for a patient with knee injury. This method is also expected to be applied to diabetic foot, knee degenerative diseases and other conditions in the future**.

7. There have been 2 cases of stem cell transplantation in the world
In March 2019, scientists confirmed that a man in London, England, may have had AIDS after receiving a stem cell transplant**. This is the second case of AIDS** in the world, following the successful escape of AIDS from a patient in Berlin, Germany, in 2007. Both patients had AIDS and cancer at the same time, and both had stem cells from donors with a mutation in the CCR5 gene transplanted for **cancer.
