Top 8 Stem Cell Quotes of All-Time

Many experts have spoken about the power of stem cells and their ability to alter the field of healthcare forever, including these top stem cell quotes of all-time. With exponential progress occurring in the field, stem cells are ushering in an age of regenerative medicine that will transform healthcare in ways that are now inconceivable.

In coming decades, stem cells will be reversing diseases ranging from Alzheimer’s to autism, re-growing organs and tissues, and potentially allowing the first humans to reach the age of 200.

Some exciting advances with stem cells include these “science fictions” that have become “science facts”:

1. When implanted into humans, stem cells are healing lost eyesight in Japan. [1]
2. Stem cells given to elderly mice are tripling their age-span, allowing “fast aging” mice that should only live for 21 days to live to an average of 71 days.[2] This is the equivalent of 80-year human living beyond 200 years.
3. Human athletes with partial or non-retracted ACL repairs can now avoid reconstructive surgery and instead regrow their own ligament.[3]

The advances are incredible and they have already arrived. In honor of these and many other incredible achievements, enjoy these top eight stem cell quotes of all-time.
