What is stem cell therapy?

Posted March 13, 2024


Answer

Stem cell therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that uses stem cells and their derivatives to repair and treat dysfunctional, damaged, or diseased tissue. This replaces traditional organ transplantation, which is often hindered by limited supply of donor organs. Stem cell therapy can potentially generate an unlimited supply of healthy, new cells.
