Stem cell can form a growth plate or generate a gap for you to grow taller?

Pluripotent stem cells are developmental progenitors of all adult tissues. Therefore, in theory, they must be intrinsically capable to form both, phenotypically stable articular cartilage and hypertrophic mineralizing cartilage

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be reprogramed from any nucleated cell and expanded in culture without losing differentiation capacity (Yama a et al., 2018). Thus, unlimited cell quantities are available from minimally or non-invasive sources, which makes iPSCs highly attractive for cartilage regeneration.

iPSCs yamanaka factors with auxiliary bio printing can be used to turn any cell into growth plate chondrocytes in vitro, the only problem is finding out a way to do it in vivo effectively without any collateral damage around the region.

Bone implant technologies evolve by the month:

As well as stem cell technologies allowing for the mass production of induced Pluripotent Stem Cells, the very highest "tier" of stem cell that is capable of transdifferentiation into ANY type of cell - including mesenchymal stem cells, which are the basis for epiphyseal cartilage, muscle cells, connective tissue, and nerve cells:

This will probably work in the future sort of a reverse getting shorter as you age. I remember looking into it a long time ago. However the truth is that it is decades out from commercial applications and even then it will cost a premium. 20-30 years at the least.
