Abstract: Stem cells are mobilized from bone marrow by administering an amount of Phe-Pro-His-Phe-Asp-Leu-Ser-His-Gly-Ser-Ala-Gln-Val-Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro (SEQ ID NO: 2) or Phe-Ala-His-Phe-Asp-Leu-Ser-His-Gly-Ser-Ala-Gln-Val-Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro (SEQ ID NO: 3) effective to mobilize the stem cells. This is useful for promoting bodily tissue regeneration in a patient in need of tissue regeneration treatment. Alternatively, the mobilized stem cells can be collected for transplant.
