You could obtain it from the own body of the patient or it could be from a donor. In case of the latter it needs to match with the genetic needs of the patient.

Benefits of stem cell therapy

  • Tuberculosis- there is a research which does confirm the fact that with the aid of bone marrow extraction TB could be cured. Patients have gone on to show a positive response and there is no side effects associated with the same.
  • Hair loss- stem cells could also work its magic as far as hair loss is concerned.
