About this ebook

What Is Stem Cell Therapy

The use of a patient's own stem cells, either to cure or prevent a disease or condition, is the practice known as stem-cell therapy. As of the year 2016, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only treatment that has been shown to be effective employing stem cells. The transplantation of bone marrow is the most common method used for this procedure; however, the cells may also be extracted from umbilical cord blood. Research is now being conducted to establish diverse sources for stem cells and to use stem-cell therapies for neurodegenerative disorders and ailments such as diabetes and heart disease. Additionally, research is being conducted to generate new stem cell sources.
