Although we love educating our patients on the latest stem cell news, sometimes it’s interesting to look back at the history of science to see where it all stemmed from! Have you ever been curious about stem cell research and how it has developed over the years? If so, keep reading on…

Scientists from all over the world have been fascinated by the idea of stem cells ever since the 19^th century. No rock was left unturned as they sought to study plants, animals, and people to have a better understanding of biological life. In the late 1800s, with advancing microscope technology, cell propagation and differentiation were witnessed for the first time. This meant that cells were being recognized as building blocks of life, and that there was a lot more to understand about human biological development.
