-
Heart disease
-
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
-
Spinal cord injuries
-
Bone and cartilage defects
-
Certain types of cancer
While many of these applications are still in the research phase, the results so far are promising — and the field continues to evolve rapidly.
