Can Stem Cell Therapy Help In Preventing Ear Implant Rejection?
I just saw the show about using stem cells to create new organs. In the future they believe we will be able to grow new organs from this process. Do they see using it to replace bones and other body parts? The reason I m asking is I have a prosthesis in my ear that is really causing me pain frequently. I ve already gone through 1 rejection and fear I may have to replace this one. If this new technology can be used in such a way it would help me from rejecting my implants.

Hello. Welcome to hcm
Ear implant means cochlear implant?
Implant rejection and stem cell therapy are not connected. Stem cell therapy is still in very early stage and we won't be able to get whole new organs by stem cell therapy especially complex organs like ear and brain.
Keep regular follow up with your doctor in case I have any symptoms.
All the best
