13^th Tissue Repair and Regeneration Congress

Stem cell therapy is the use of stem cells to treat disease. Bone marrow transplantation is the most used stem-cell therapy, but some therapies derived from Umbilical cord blood are also in use. Research is proceeding to develop various sources for stem cells and to put on stem-cell treatments for Neurogenerative disease and conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and other conditions. Stem-cell therapy has become controversial following developments such as the ability of scientists to isolate and culture embryonic stem cell to create stem cells using somatic nuclear transfer and their use of techniques to create Induced pluripotent stem cell.
