Abstract: Stem cells are unspecialized cells of the human body. Stem cells can differentiate into any cell in the body and have the ability to self-renew. According to their origin, stem cells are divided into two main types: Embryonic and Adult. Stem cells are also classified as Multipotent, Totipotent, Pluripotent and Unipotent based on their range of differentiation potential. Multipotent stem cells have the ability to differentiate into all cell types within a given lineage. Stem cell therapy is used to treat several types of diseases, and stem cells have the potential to create new tissues and organs. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) show potential in treating viral diseases due to their anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, as demonstrated in conditions like COVID-19, viral pneumonia, HIV, and hepatitis B.
