The online resource a Closer Look at Stem Cells website has been expanded to help patients make informed decisions about stem cell treatments.
The website, once patient focused, is now a comprehensive destination for those interested in stem cell science and research being conducted across the globe.
Members of Stem Cell Australia have also had a role in the expansion of the site, which they hope will aid in the understanding of current limitations of stem cells as medicine and “foster a healthy scepticism of clinics selling treatments.”
At the moment there is no specific information for patients on the use of stem cells to treat osteoarthritis but a spokesperson from the International Society for Stem Cell Research told the limbic there were plans to add disease/condition specific pages to the website in the future.
