- bluGill 3y agoYes in theory. However there is a lot of tricky parts that mean we are not doing this in real humans often it at all.
- dekhn 3y agoYes, example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10418799/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10418799/ although I am not sure if T cells are considered stem cells or derived.
- colechristensen 3y agoYes, there are approved treatments that do exactly this with stem cells for some diseases.
