70-year-old Undergoes Stem Cell Transplantation in Southern India
``This is the beginning of stem cell era. It has a wide array of applications, including in such areas as liver disease, neurological problems, spinal cord injuries and diabetic foot ulcer. However, the awareness regarding stem cell therapy is low even among medical practitioners, Bakthavathsalam regretted.

``There is no risks involved. The procedure can be done even in a 90-year-old patient, he added.
