  • Pharmaceutical Composition Containing Expanded Adult Stem Cells and Methods of Using Same for Treatment
    Publication number: 20120308535
    Abstract: A method for the expansion of adult stem cells from blood, particularly but not only peripheral blood, involves removing adult stem cells from blood of a mammal, immediately expanding the stem cells via in-vitro treatment with MCSF (Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor) at a concentration of about 8-15 nM, and purifying the expanded stem cells. Compositions and methods of using the expanded adult stem cells are also described.
    Type: Application
