Hello, this Sam from Atlanta. I am reading a lot about the potential of stem cell therapy. Do you have any information if stem cells therapy can cure heart attack? It will be useful if you can share any examples or medical research being done for it.

    2. This is interesting question and we don’t have firm answers yet. But stem cell research holds a lot of promise.
    Very recently, researchers in the UK (seems to be a hub for such work) have found a way to prompt bone marrow to release a flood of certain stem cells which could help heart attack patients recover faster.
