What diseases can be cured by stem cells and how would the cells cure those specific diseases?I need to know which diseases can be cured by Stem Cell treatment. I know that Parkinson's disease can be cured by this form of treatment but I need two other examples. I also need to know exactly how the cells will treat those specific diseases such as how the stem cells would target the motor cortex, causing a more sufficient amount of dopamine to be formed when treating Parkinson's disease.
Thanks,
Cat.

There are many hurdles before stem cell implantation can be a potential cure or treatment for Parkinson's disease. At this point skin cells have been used but the long term results are not in yet.
Other conditions with a cure potential include diabetes type 1 (juvenile diabetes), ALS, Huntington's disease, Becker Muscular dystrophy (BMD), Down Syndrome, adenpsone deaminase deficiency (ADA-SCID), Gaucher disease type III, Schechman-Bodian-Diamons syndromw (SBDS)
There is stem cell treatment for Crohn's disease.

The 2nd part of your question can be searched in a normal fashion. If I find time, I'll check it too.
