In the recent decade our medical science has made rapid progress. The horizon of research has expanded considerably. New areas of research are being dug. New medicines are being invented for diseases that were once considered incurable. Stem cell is such a new area where lot of research has been carried out of late.
Stem cell therapy has potential to dramatically change the treatment of human disease. Adult stem cell therapies are used to treat leukemia. Medical researchers are hopeful that technologies derived from stem cell research can be widely used to treat a large variety of diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, and muscle damage, to name a few.
