How can stem cells benefit premature infants?

Patient's question:

I heard that stem cells are good for the recovery of premature babies. How can stem cells be used to benefit premature infants?

Doctor's answer:

As you said, there shouldn't be any major issues. This should be able to recover on its own. It also depends on what symptoms the baby has. This should also be a physiological phenomenon.
In animal studies, stem cells have been proven to have great potential in reducing nerve damage. However, the mechanisms of stem cells, the best type, dosage, and applications are still unclear. We need to determine the most appropriate cell type, dosage, method, duration of use, and potential long-term side effects to ensure the safe use of stem cells in the clinical field.
