Stem Cell Therapy: A Process With a Promise

Stem cells hold the promise of ushering in a new era of regenerative medicine, as scientists and engineers have made significant progress in directing these powerful cells towards use in drug screening models and replacements for failing tissues. More recently, scientists have developed even more efficient and alternative methods for reprogramming cells into their desired … Continue reading “Stem Cell Therapy: A Process With a Promise”
