? What are stem cells?AStem cells are primitive and undifferentiated cells with the ability to self-renew and differentiate. They can proliferate into cells identical to themselves or differentiate into other functional cells. Due to these characteristics, stem cells can be used to repair damaged tissues or organs and even construct complete organs.

? Why store stem cells?AIn addition to possessing the functions of self-renewal, proliferation, and differentiation into various tissue cells, mesenchymal stem cells can autonomously migrate to damaged tissues for repair. Mesenchymal stem cells can be derived from various tissues such as bone marrow, umbilical cord, placenta, and fat, and can differentiate into bone cells, cartilage cells, tendons, cardiac muscle cells, neurons, and fat cells. Storing stem cells in healthy individuals serves as a form of insurance for promoting future health.

? What is the difference between cancer and tumors?A
Cells in the human body can form tumors due to abnormal cell division. Tumors can be either benign or malignant, with malignant tumors referred to as cancer. Malignant tumors have an aggressive nature, potentially damaging nearby tissues or organs. They can even enter the bloodstream, leading to the formation of new tumors in other organs or tissues, known as the spread and metastasis of cancer cells. Therefore, the naming of cancer typically reflects the location of its occurrence, such as breast cancer or colorectal cancer. The key to combating cancer lies in the concepts of early detection and early treatment.

? What are immune cells?A
Immune cells act as the body's patrolling defense force, wandering through the body, detecting and eliminating invaders such as bacteria, pathogens, and clearing away aging cells and metabolic waste. The immune system is divided into innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is the inherent resistance, including natural killer cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, etc. Adaptive immunity is the individual's active immune response to invaders, including T cells, B cells, CIK cells, etc. These immune cells play a crucial role in defending against pathogens and cancer cells.
