Orthopedic Stem Cell Market to Reach $228 Million by 2014

VANCOUVER, April 7 /PRNewswire/ - According to a report by iData Research (www.idataresearch.net), an international medical device and dental market research firm, the U.S. market for stem cells used in orthopedic therapy will grow to an estimated $228 million by 2014.
