Abstract: A method for treating limb ischemia in a patient in need of such treatment by administering metamizole treated mesenchymal stem cells to the patient. The method provides a pharmaceutical product for angiogenesis growth to replace occluded blood vessels for avoiding limb amputation. Secretion of angiogenic growth factors VEGFA, HGF, bFGF, TEK are stimulated and the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IF6, CXCF8, CCF2, IL1-RN are reduced by activation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). According to treatment results, MSCs produce proteins and signaling molecules for new blood vessel growth that accelerate the growth of new arteries.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a simplified process, which is shorter in time, for propagation of proliferating cells, such as e.g. progenitor or stem cells, by means of a biphasic culturing system having a differentiation supporting component and a proliferation supporting component, and to the use of the stem cell cultures obtained in this way for cell therapy purposes. The present invention invention describes a method, which is highly efficient to prime stem or progenitor cells to differentiation using non-attachment matrices and differentiation supporting component. The cells produced therefrom may be used to treat a variety of neurodegenerative disorders.
