If two million people have been helped by using Adult Stem cells, why are we still talking about embryonic cells? How do adult stems cells work and why do embryonic stem cells not succeed?
We answer these questions and more as we sit down with Dr. David Prentice, a longtime stem cell researcher and policy adviser, to separate stem cell hype from stem cell results, and to name the ethical stakes that often get blurred on purpose.

This is an educational web site created with the goal of connecting stem cell science, patients and stories. Our Success Stories come from people who have experienced a successful adult stem cell transplant. My Experience is a place where we give transplant recipients the time to share their personal experiences with a little more depth.
Stem Cell Connect is not a clinic, has no doctors and performs no stem cell transplants. We seek to connect those looking for information about the various types of stem cell research with the science and the experiences of those who’ve lived it. We welcome your feedback.
The Science Alliance for Life and Technology (SALT) is a new collaboration of expert scientists committed to guiding science with strong ethical standards. We work to shape technologies that protect life and serve human dignity. Our goal is to ensure that progress in fields like genetics, stem cell research, and AI remains both effective and morally responsible.

The Midwest Stem Cell Therapy Center (MSCTC) is a research and development center, identifying adult stem cell applications for the treatment of various human healthcare conditions. The center is housed within the University of Kansas Medical Center campus in Kansas City, Kansas. The MSCTC is designed to serve as a hub of adult stem cell therapy, research and education in the State of Kansas and the adjoining region. We currently do not treat patients.
We are actively involved in human clinical trials that define the safety and efficacy of the adult stem cells we are investigating.
When Jacki Rabon learned a terrible automobile accident left her paralyzed, the Illinois teenager thought her life was over. But, a few years later, a groundbreaking medical procedure gave her new hope for the future.
Jacki traveled to Portugal to meet with neurologist Dr. Carlos Lima, the world’s leading pioneer in adult stem cell surgeries.

Promising research is currently being conducted with adult stem cells to treat symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, using induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. These cells are capable of forming into any cell type in the body.
One particular study deserves your attention.
Dr. Jun Takahashi and his team at Kyoto University in Japan have begun a clinical trial that implants neurons from iPS cells into the brains of patients with Parkinson’s disease.
Dr. David Prentice is President and Founding Board Member of the Science Alliance for Life and Technology (SALT) with almost 50 years’ experience as a scientific researcher, professor, academic leader and policy advisor. He is the former Advisory Board Chair and a Founding Member for the Midwest Stem Cell Therapy Center, a unique comprehensive adult stem cell center in Kansas that he was instrumental in creating. Dr. Prentice established Stem Cell Research Facts, an educational website about adult stem cells, and is an advisory board member for the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity.
