Article: Stem cell procedures in athletes - nothing new

Here is a well-written article on stem cell therapy in athletes.

The article, by David Epstein in Inside Baseball on sportsillustrated.com, tells the story of New York Yankee pitcher Bartolo Colon’s elbow and shoulder stem cell treatment. 

In his article, Epstein also points out that stem cell therapy is nothing new and that it has been utilized for an extended period in many athletes who have undergone microfracture techniques.  Epstein’s article is interesting and worth the read.
