For most of us, what we know about the stem cell debate comes from the news media. Unless you have access to peer-reviewed medical journals and scientific publications (which most of us do not), you probably rely on what you hear on the news or read in the newspaper. But, do you wonder what scientists are discovering in regard to stem cell research? For instance, did you know the evidence in favor of adult stem cell therapy continues to grow within scientific literature?
Despite all the hype surrounding embryonic stem cell research, there has yet to be a single peer-reviewed article that examines actual benefits in the use of these cells in humans. Compare that to a long list of published studies that demonstrate the successful use of adult stem cells in human patients.
In order to help sort through the science, the following is a small sample of the scientific literature which shows some of the ways adult stem cells are being used to treat patients with a wide variety of diseases.
