- Adult stem cells have been used in the trial. These cells can create new cells that are targeted to what is needed in the body.
- Animal and laboratory testing provide hope that new blood vessels will develop from the injection of adult stem cells and progenitor cells.
- Intravenous delivery of adult stem cells may affect the circulation better than local injection, and future testing will include this option
- Adult stem cells are extracted from the bone marrow by surgery.
- It's hoped that stem cells can be used successfully in the future by using cells from umbilical cord blood and fat tissue.
