Some Perspective
Healthcare is experiencing an evolving crisis as conventional treatments reach their limitations and the United States develops an ever-growing aging population. In this medical environment, new and alternative strategies are needed. Stem cell-based therapies are being evaluated for the treatment of a wide range of disorders. It is estimated that 132 million individuals in the United States alone may benefit from stem cell-based therapy with the largest impact on patients with cancer, diabetes, autoimmune, cardiovascular, and neurological disorders.
