Stem Cells and Tissue Regeneration

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for cardiac and peripheral vascular disease

Bone Marrow Transplantation volume 32, pages S29–S31 (2003)Cite this article

Summary:

Recent studies have suggested that marrow and blood hematopoietic stem cells may contribute to nonhematopoietic tissue repair in multiple organ systems. In animal models and more recently in limited human trials, unpurified marrow mononuclear cells and/or subsets of adult hematopoietic stem cells have been reported to contribute to neoangiogenesis. Since the subset of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that are both CD34+ and AC133+ are endothelial cell precursors, clinical trials using autologous AC133+ HSCs isolated with the Miltenyi CLIMACS cell separator and transplanted into patients with ischemic and refractory peripheral vascular or coronary artery disease are being implemented at Northwestern University.
