Stem Cells and COVID-19

In light of current events, EuroStemCell has noticed an increased promotion of unproven stem cell treatments for COVID-19 (Coronavirus). EuroStemCell would like to stress that there are currently no stem cell-derived treatments for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19.  For updated information on COVID-19, please refer to the resources available from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. 

Stem cells provide a rich area of research for the development of new treatments for many conditions and diseases (see: What conditions and diseases can be treated with stem cells?) However, commercially-driven marketing of unproven stem cell treatments is an ongoing concern. EuroStemCell remains dedicated to providing independent, expert-reviewed information and road-tested educational resources on stem cells and their impact on society.
