Stem cell therapies
care and patient treatment does not reach suitable standards, stem cells will continue to offer treatment plans that yield more favourable outcomes.
Moreover, regenerative medicine is an ever-evolving discipline. There is ongoing research in this field that aims to improve and refine the efficacy of stem cell treatments. One example of this is the use of melatonin to increase the healing effects of stem cells (Heo, 2019). The study suggests that higher levels of melatonin, a naturally produced hormone that regulates the sleep cycle, promotes stem cell proliferation. Resultantly, levels of melatonin can be controlled to determine the rate of tissue repair and healing. This is just one example of research findings improving the effectiveness of stem cell therapies.
