High-Dose Stem Cell Treatments in Chronic Heart Patients Increases Survival Rates

The DanCell clinical trial was conducted about seven years ago at the Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark by a clinical research team led by Axel Diederichsen. The DanCell study examined 32 patients with severe ischemic heart failure who had received two rounds of bone marrow stem cell treatments.

The DanCell study was small and uncontrolled. However, because the vast majority of stem…

SanBios Technologies Inc Scientists Isolate and Characterize A Distinct, Small Stem Cell Population from Bone Marrow

In previous posts, we have examined the debate that surrounds a population of stem cells called “Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells” or VSELs. Ratajczak and his colleagues have published several papers describing the isolation and characterization of VSELs from bone marrow. VSELs express some of the same genes as embryonic stem cells (Oct4, Nanog, and Sox2), and are also very small, and have…
