About Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cells are non-specialized cells with a remarkable potential
for both self -renewal and differentiation into cell types with a
specialized function, such as muscle, blood or brain cells. In
contrast, use of adult stem cells does not face the same moral or
legal controversy . The search for more effective
treatments continues.
