The nervous system is composed of the brain, spinal cord, sensory organs, and all the neurons that act as communication channels between the body's organs. This system is fragile and therefore vulnerable to many diseases and disorders.
The endocrine system consists of endocrine glands that regulate various functions such as metabolism, growth, and development by secreting several hormones. Endocrine disorders are diseases and conditions that influence the endocrine system. They are caused by abnormal hormone levels secreted by endocrine glands or lesions in the endocrine system such as nodules or tumors.
The circulatory system is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and delivers nutrients such as amino acids, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to target cells in the body and takes away wastes. The disorders in the circulatory system cause circulatory system disease.
The respiratory system is a biological system that allows us to breathe by taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. Respiratory diseases refer to any of the diseases and disorders of the respiratory tract and the lungs that affect human respiration.
The human digestive system is composed of the gastrointestinal tract and the accessory organs of digestion including the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. Digestive system diseases refer to any of the diseases that affect the human digestive tract.
The urinary system consists mainly of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and the urethra. It plays an essential role in maintaining the volume and composition of body fluids within normal ranges, involved in wastes elimination from the body, controlling the levels of electrolytes and metabolites, and regulating blood pH. Urinary system diseases refer to these diseases that can affect the kidneys, bladder, and surrounding structures.
The reproductive system usually consists of male or female reproductive organs and structures. The male reproductive system consists of the testes, penis, seminal vesicles, prostate, and urethra, and the female reproductive system is composed of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. The main function of the reproductive system is to reproduce and bear live offspring. Any disorders in the reproductive system can cause reproductive system diseases.
The immune system is mainly composed of the white blood cells, antibodies, the complement system, the lymphatic system, the spleen, the thymus, and the bone marrow. It is a host defense system that actively fights infection. Disorders in the immune system cause abnormally low activity or overactivity of the immune system.
The motor system is the component of the central and peripheral nervous systems. It consists of the motor cortex, pyramidal, and extrapyramidal system and is responsible for coordinating motor functions involving voluntary and involuntary movement. Motor system diseases affect your body's movement.
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from diverse somatic cell types can differentiate into any type of cell in the body with high similarity to embryonic stem cells (ESCs), thus providing a great opportunity for modeling various diseases including cardiovascular, genetic, and neurological diseases. Meanwhile, iPSCs also provide powerful platforms for drug discovery as well as the development of cellular transplantation.
Creative Biolabs is an excellent expert who is skilled in providing a full range of iPSCs-related services, involving iPSC basic research services such as reprogramming, differentiation, and characterization of iPSC pluripotency, as well as iPSC application services such as disease modeling, stem cell facilitated drug discovery, and cell-based therapy.
