What is Stem Cell Treatment?
Stem cell treatment uses special human cells that can grow into different types of tissues in the body. These cells are either taken from the patient’s own body or donated. The goal is to help repair damaged tissues or improve the way organs and systems work.
It’s often used for orthopedic problems, blood disorders, and some immune diseases. The therapy might involve injecting stem cells into the affected area or using them during surgery. This field is still growing, and more treatments are being tested for other conditions.
