Stem-Cell-Based Therapies
When you hear the debate on embryonic stem cells, using stem cells for clinical therapy may sound like something that won’t be possible for many years.
While it is true that there are no mainstream human embryonic stem cell therapies right now, therapies that use other types of stem cells, such as adult stem cells, have been available for many years.
Let’s explore some of these therapies and also look at a few examples of experimental stem cell therapies that are going on today.
