Stem cells to cure incontinence
364670
Scientists are successfully treating stress incontinence with a transplant of the patient&#39;s own stem cells. Cells are removed from muscle tissue in the patient&#39;s arm, cultured in a lab, and injected into the wall of the urethra and the sphincter muscle.
