Where can I get information on stem cell research?
Stem cells can be found throughout the body. There are stem cells in tissues and organs as well as in umbilical cord blood and peripheral blood (i.e., hematopoietic stem cells). At this time there is no licensed stem cell treatment. Additional resources regarding stem cell research: National Institutes of Health resource for stem cell research. If you are interested in clinical trials using stem cell therapies, you may want to visit www.clinicaltrials.gov. This site provides regularly updated information about federally and privately supported clinical research in human volunteers. ClinicalTrials.gov provides information about a trial’s purpose, who may participate, locations, and phone numbers for more details. The information provided on ClinicalTrials.gov should be used in conjunction with advice from health care professionals.
