Quick answer
The most established use of stem cell therapy is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for blood cancers and certain immune and blood disorders. Most other uses, including orthopedic, cosmetic and anti-aging treatments, are investigational, and regulators such as the U.S. FDA warn against unapproved products.

Answer
Hematopoietic stem cell transplants have decades of clinical use. Research continues on mesenchymal stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells and other cell types for conditions such as heart disease, neurological disorders and joint injury, but approval status varies by country and product.
