The article presents information about China's research and treatments with stem cells. A study by Halla Thorsteinsdottir of the McLaughlin Rotman Centre for global Health has found that China is the fifth largest source of stem cell research papers in the world. The study also found that, even though there are many fraudulent practices in this field in China, there are also many properly conducted clinical trials using stem cells for heart-muscle damage, liver disease, and other conditions.
