Stem Cell Therapy to Treat Heart Ischaemia: Implications for Diabetes Cardiovascular Complications

Diabetes mellitus is a well-known risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to acute myocardial infarction, chronic myocardial ischaemia and heart failure. Despite the advantages in medical…

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells promote the repair of islets from diabetic mice through paracrine actions

Transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been shown to effectively lower blood glucose levels in diabetic individuals, but the mechanism has not been adequately explained. We hypothesized…

Percutaneous injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for ankle non-unions decreases complications in patients with diabetes

Purpose Clinical studies in diabetic patients have demonstrated that there is a high incidence of complications in distal tibia and ankle fracture treatments. One strategy to mitigate issues with wound…

Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Improve Diabetic Neuropathy by Direct Modulation of Both Angiogenesis and Myelination in Peripheral Nerves

Recent evidence has suggested that diabetic neuropathy (DN) is pathophysiologically related to both impaired angiogenesis and a deficiency of neurotrophic factors in the nerves. It is widely known that vascular…
