Stem cells can be harvested from embryos, bone marrow, blood and umbilical cord blood.
The isolation of stem cells from bone marrow, blood and umbilical cord blood is permitted in Germany.
Establishing new embryonic stem cell lines, which many see as ethically highly questionable, is illegal in Germany.
Stem cells can be used for the treatment of the donor him- or herself (autologous) or as a foreign transplant (allogen) to treat severely ill patients.
This approach makes possible completely new and innovative therapeutic concepts.
