Answers from Umbilical Cord Adult Stem Cells

With the recent California $3 billion hype surrounding the potential application of embryonic stem cell research, many have gotten the erroneous impression that stem cells (umbilical cord and adult) have not been successfully applied and lack the potential to treat chronic diseases, such as diabetes. Others continue to belief the myth that stem cell research was outlawed by President Bush. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Here is a list of over 70 current and 10 (potential) future applications of umbilical cord stem cells therapy. The potential list includes Alzheimer’s Disease, Diabetes and Parkinson’s Disease among others.

In addition, consider the recent reported successful application of umbilical cord and adult stem cells to reverse paralysis (more here), regenerate a damaged skull, treat incontinence and leukemia, and repair vision loss.
