A new study on mice shows potential for those same cells to find damaged tissue in the heart and assist it in the regeneration of tissue. The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai use placental stem cells known as Cdx2 cells to repair heart attack damage in mice. This revelation is an encouraging development for heart […]

If you break a bone you must wait for that bone to heal based upon its size and your health. Now, the medical community is evaluating the benefits of emryonic treatments. There is mounting evidence that using stem cells at the site of a bone break […]
