Are stem cells good for someone who has infantile spasm syndrome?
TerriJoe
Infantile spasm syndrome is a seizure disorder that affects infants. Some unscrupulous physicians are giving stem cells to infants with the syndrome as a potential \"cure\". However, according to the National Institute of Health Stem Cell Treatment Center, research on stem cells in not advanced enough to represent a cure for this condition. Stem cells have been forced to create brain cells in the laboratory, but this research is a long way from being placed in a living human as a cure for infantile spasm syndrome.
