So far, stem cells have been used to treat some 80 known diseases. These include leukemia and immune system disorders. Exciting research is under way to find future medical uses. Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, heart disease, cartilage damage, diabetes, Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS), Parkinson’s disease, and spinal cord injury are all being studied. So the stem cells you store today may have even greater potential tomorrow.
