What diseases can be treated using my cells?
So far adult stem cells transplants have been used successfully in orthopaedic problems (degenerative joint disease, polyarthritis, intervertebral disc problems, tear and wear of tendons and ligaments, ophthalmology, cardiology, neurology and graft-versus-host-reactions). At present many clinical trials are being carried out in the USA into further treatment possibilities involving for example heart disease, stroke, diabetes, vascular diseases and autoimmune diseases such as lupus, multiple sclerosis and Crohn's disease.
In addition, adult stem cells are now being used for certain cosmetic procedures and are being tested for further applications.
