The mitochondrion produce a substance called adenosine triphosphate. It is also known as ATP. It is believed to be our source of energy. ATP's main purpose is to transport chemical energy within cells for metabolism[2]. Metabolism is the sum of the physical and chemical changes that take place in living organisms.
Stem cell harvest. Stem cells used to be harvested from the bone marrow. That has now largely been abandoned in favour of harveting directly from the peripheral blood.
Stem cells grown in the laboratory, or adult cells reprogrammed to be stem cells, might have genetic damage. There is also risk in some of the procedures used to get stem cells out of the body (such as from liposuction or spinal tap) or to deliver stem cells to the body (such as implanting them in the heart, brain, spinal cord, or other organs).
