Because of their unique regenerative abilities, stem cells are a leader in regenerative medicine and provide the possibility of treating systemic diseases and injuries using a patient’s own cells. Stem cell therapy has been used to treat conditions such as liver disease, metabolic disorders, and anemia, and can potentially be used to address:
