Cells are harvested from embryos in early stages of development. However embryonic stem cells as such are used in a limited way, since they are tumorigenic in vivo [
7]. Adult stem cells are present in the body after birth. Although it has been hypothesized that adult stem cells can only turn into tissue cells, some studies suggest that they can also generate cells from other tissues, in which case we are talking about property called plasticity or transdifferentiation of these cells. Adult stem cells are harvested from adult tissues, particularly cord blood, peripheral blood, and bone marrow, as wells form such tissues as fat , skin, and skeletal striate muscle [
8]. If most cells in the human body can give rise, only cells of the same type and in contrast, the stem cells are unique in being able to give rise to many types of cells. According to current hypotheses a single adult stem cell should be capable of giving rise to a clone of cells that are genetically identical. It is envisaged that further studies will show the possibility that a stem cell can produce a clone of cells in cell culture and also to prove that a population of stem cells purified able to repopulate a certain type of tissue after transplantation [
9]. In this context, it has been shown that adult stem cells can be used for transplantations. In particular hematopoietic stem cells from bone marroware frequently used for treatment of blood diseases. In order to identify adult stem cells several methods can be used. One is aimed at labeling the cells in a living tissue with molecular markers and subsequently determine the specialized cells that they generate. The second method relates on the extraction of cells from a living animal body, followed by labeling the cell culture and, finally, carrying out a transplantation of these cells in an animal experiment, in order to determine the cells to repopulate the tissue of origin [

11]. .Following the isolation of stem cells, they can be cultured in vitro and treated with growth factors or transfected with new genes, to determine the types of cells that may become differentiated. Given the importance of involving adult stem cells in producing new cell types and their involvement in transplants, and the resulting use of adult stem cells for therapeutic purposes, the main potential of adult stem cells is in the field of regenerative medicine. Based on the observation that differentiation of adult stem cells into specific derivativescan be controlled by laboratory techniques, it is anticipated that adult stem cells may become the basis of therapies for many, and various types of medical conditions [

13]. Compared to adult stem cells, embryonic stem cells have the potential that they can give rise to all the hundreds of cell types in the human body. In this context, it can be exemplified by saying that while a blood stem cell can only give rise to blood, embryonic stem cell can make blood, bones, skin, brain, and others. Additionally, embryonic stem cells are programmed by nature in order to build tissues and organs, while adult stem cells are not programmed by nature, as described above. From this point of view it is estimated that embryonic stem cells have a greater natural ability in repairing diseased organs [

15]. Embryonic stem cells are obtained from left-over embryos from fertility treatments and are active only a few days. These cells are obtained usually in a vessel in specialized laboratories, which otherwise would have been discarded. Concerned by news on stem cells , researchers were attracted by stem cells called "iPS" cells. Results of studies have shown that this type of cell had similar properties as, but are not derived from an embryo. From this point of view, there are ethical issues related using of iPS stem cells. Additionally, it has to noted that iPS cells can be made from the patient’s own cells. Therefore, it seems that iPS cells could be given back to a patient without risk of an immune rejection, so in this case transplantation would not give rise to graft rejection. The is relevant given the various reported cases of deaths occurring due to stem cell therapies. This obliges open collaboration between patient and medical staff involved in transplantation, whereby decisions are made only by consent and by respecting the principles of medical ethics [

17].The idea of using stem cells for treatment of various pathological conditions, is exemplified by the transplantation of stem cells from a patient who suffered from a heart attack. In this case, the stem cell therapy would be applied to repair the part of the heart that has undergone structural and functional changes due to a myocardial infarction. Birth provides an opportunity to help families storing umbilical cord blood of the newborn. From this point of view it should be noted that patients who undergo a transplantation, recovered better when they receive stem cells from a related donor than from unrelated one. In this context, most ongoing studies are oriented towards regenerative medicine, with the aim to repair the body of the patient with their own stem cells. Particularly, children who can be treated with their own stem cells from stored umbilical cord blood will have easy access to this type of therapies, also late in life [
18]. Good to know a few about history of this study purpoos, abour stemm cells and regenerative medicine. So from centuries, it is known the idea of regeneration that first started in myths and legends. Regenerative medicine is acknowledged that their research performance has been somewhat disappointing. Scientists and researchers, look at how the historical development of the regenerative medicine scientific field has changed the translational strategy. This is then linked to a discussion of the preclinical and postclinical challenges, which offer insights for the future progression of regenerative medicine field [
