Study Suggests Umbilical Cord Stem Cells Safe to Transfer to Sibling with Cerebral Palsy
Stem cells have been studied for a long time, due to their potential to treat or prevent injuries and certain medical conditions. Researchers have studied these “master cells” with enthusiasm, due to their ability to generate new types of cells with special purposes. People with spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, and other conditions may benefit from stem cell therapies because of the cells’ ability to potentially repair, restore, or regenerate healthy cells.
