Stem Cell Treatments

Stem cells hold great promise for improving our understanding of and ability to treat a variety of illnesses, wounds, and other medical issues. Their potential can be observed in the use of stem cells for tissue transplants to cure diseases or injuries to the bone, skin, and surface of the eye, as well as in the use of blood stem cells to treat disorders of the blood, a therapy that has saved the lives of thousands of children with leukemia. Numerous other disorders are the subject of significant stem cell-based clinical trials, and researchers are always looking for novel applications for stem cells in medicine.
