Multipotent mesenchymal stem (stromal) cells (MSCs) have shown promising therapeutic effects in preclinical models of both acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis. Although initial research focused on the ability…
Background— Experimental data suggest that bone marrow–derived cells may contribute to the healing of myocardial infarction (MI). For this reason, we analyzed 10 patients who were treated by intracoronary transplantation…
Background and Purpose—We tested the hypothesis that intravenous infusion of bone marrow derived–marrow stromal cells (MSCs) enter the brain and reduce neurological functional deficits after stroke in rats. Methods—Rats (n=32)…
Aims To provide systematic assessment of the safety and efficacy of autologous bone marrow-derived stem cell (BMSC) transplantation in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) based on clinical evidence. Methods and results…
