Aperçu

Dr. Paul Knoepfler, professor, biomedical scientist and science writer, has spent the last seven years warning people against US clinics who advertise stem cells as a treatment for “everything from sore knees to spinal cord injury.” The article will inform and engage physicians and researchers who want to get a better insight into the world of stem cell therapy and the controversy that surrounds it.
