Great information in the article. My wife has Scleroderma and I would be interested in more information on the study of stem cells for treatment of scleroderma.

Thanks.

Having been diagnosed with scleroderma for seven years now but of course had it a lot longer I am extremely interested in the stem cell research. Please please I just want this to go away. I would like more information on this.

I have been denied insurance coverage for autogolous stem cell transplant to treat systemic scleroderma for a clinical trial and don't have the $250,000 to pay for one.
With the funding, will Stanford be able to treat scleroderma patients without cost to patient?

There is a stem cell transplant that is not a trial and I think it is in Chicago. I cannot remember where I read about it but I do know it took place. I too have scleroderma
