Your body is full of specialized cells that allow it to function. The cells differ in function, shape, and size, and each has a role to perform. For instance, some cells are designed to build up cartilage, while others build muscles. Stem cells can differentiate into specialized cells, thus addressing issues that lead to pain, mobility problems and more. For instance, if you have a problem with a muscle, stem cells can turn into muscle cells and address the root of the problem. While experts have conducted stem cell research for decades, it became popular in early 2000 when famous athletes started undergoing treatment. Max Scherzer, Hines Ward, Tiger Woods, and others have undergone regenerative therapy after suffering injuries. Many athletes credit stem cells for helping them recover from injuries faster and get back on the field sooner.
