A member asked:
Is it possible for stem cells to make a copy of an organ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, theoretically: Bone marrow can be replaced by a stem cell transplant. I am not aware of any other organs or tissues that can be replaced by stem cells. However, this is an active area of research and exciting developments may occur in the future.
