Patients Guide to Treatments Top 10 list of important, easy to understand facts for patients about stem cell treatments For better or worse, I am in the unique position of being a stem cell scientist and also a patient. Looking on the bright side this gives me a unique perspective on things. I know there are thousands of people out there looking for more practical information about stem cell therapies and treatments. These folks understandably are using the Internet to look for some clear, good info on stem cell treatments either for themselves or their loved ones. Too often the info that is out there is either wrong, misleading, or overly complex.

If you live in SF you’re likely to only ever see 3 species of hummers. Travel an hour east of the bay and you’ll get a chance to meet this beauty.

Say it isn't so...New strong Duke Phase 2 study shows cord blood does not work for autism, but their team is "encouraged" & will continue the work.
