Best Answer

Nobody knows for certain, but it is possible that it might be used to treat or cure a variety of diseases where specific types of cells are missing (either because they were never there, they died out, an autoimmune disorder killed them off, etc.). A few of these possibilities are:

  • Parkinson's - caused by the loss of dopamine producing cells in the substantia nigra in the brain
  • Diabetes (type I) - caused by the death of insulin producing cells in the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas

Are stem cells good for someone who has infantile spasm syndrome?

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.
