Why is the seemingly derogatory term ‘experimental’ so often bandied about when referring to stem cell therapies?
Trials of any new technology take time and a huge amount of money. Some companies are investing heavily in research and development while others are getting on with giving patients a chance at a healthier and longer life. Eventually the term ‘experimental’ will fade as more clinical trial results are published. The fact is that today many patients do not have the time to wait to try and regain some quality of life. Treatments are available now to patients suffering from brain damage, cancer, spinal cord injury, heart damage, blindness and a host of other devastating diseases.
