Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, autism, strokes, MS, cancers: China's stem cell clinics treat them all

Bullets:

Stem Cell researchers now are focused on umbilical cord tissues as the most promising source for the cells.

Cord blood stem cells are younger, healthier, and more adaptable. Doctors are now treating patients with severe brain and spinal trauma, along with a wide range of degenerative diseases and cancers with MSC cells from umbilicals.

China's umbilical stem cell industry now leads the world, with nearly as many clinical applications as the rest of the world combined.

The Chinese healthcare system is open to foreigners, and its stem cell research centers in Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Shenyang already attract thousands of patients from abroad.
