Stem cell technology is also making strides in treating degenerative diseases. Researchers are exploring the use of stem cells to replace damaged neurons in Parkinson's disease or regenerate damaged heart tissue after a heart attack. Early-stage clinical trials are already testing these approaches, with promising results.
In the future, stem cell technology could evolve to offer even more revolutionary treatments and applications. One exciting possibility is the refinement of gene-editing techniques, such as CRISPR, in conjunction with stem cell technology. This combination could enable the correction of genetic defects in stem cells before they are used for therapy, potentially treating genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia.
