Can stem cells be used to increase height?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Once your growth centers close you have NO potential to grow taller, short of having drastic surgery to stretch your legs (takes pain/years/dollars).Stem cells will never be used to open growth centers that close from hormonal influence.
