Minister KTR said, "Stem cell therapy is a promising new treatment for a variety of conditions, and I am confident that StemCures will provide high-quality care to patients in India. I look forward to working with the clinic to make stem cell therapy more accessible to patients in India".

"It is so heartening to see Hyderabad, my hometown, transforming into a vibrant hub for medical innovations. Setting up an R&D facility was seamless, and now we are looking forward to expanding with the manufacturing plant," Atluri said.

Hyderabad is home to more than a thousand life sciences companies, including the top ten pharmaceutical firms.

These centres power essential R&D, engineering, and digital activities, helping to deliver affordable, life-saving treatments and equipment to patients all around the world , said IANS. 

StemCures is a medical clinic in Ohio that specialises in stem cell therapy. It is an FDA-compliant clinic.

Stem cell therapy is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that uses the patient's own stem cells to treat a variety of conditions. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can become any type of cell. When injected into an injured or diseased area, stem cells can help repair tissue, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
