Stem cell research papers and references

Stem cells are able to regenerate damaged or diseased tissue. First they secrete compounds that reduce inflammation and stimulate healing. Then, they grow into new tissue, cartilage or bone. The anti inflammatory properties continue for the life of the cells.
