Clinical Study Using Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal-Like Stem Cells in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Heart Failure

Adipose tissue represents an abundant, accessible source of regenerative cells that can be easily obtained in sufficient amount for therapy. Adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRC) are comprised of leukocytes, smooth muscles,…

First Experience in Humans Using Adipose Tissue–Derived Regenerative Cells in the Treatment of Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

In preclinical animal models of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), administration of freshly isolated adipose tissue–derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) immediately after the AMI improved left ventricular (LV) function and myocardial perfusion…
