hopes to harness the regenerative capacity of stem cells. However , since 2001
was tested for the first time , the results have been very uneven and are still
far from clinical use . The Hospital Gregorio Maranon de Madrid has presented
today a new way to repair damaged hearts that responds to some of the major
problems encountered in the last 14 years . Attacks injury when you can still
raise regenerative response and employs adult stem cells in the heart ,
theoretically , the best .
The
strategy employed so far, he used as feedstock therapy patient's own stem
cells, forced to wait four to eight weeks to process them and treating the sick
. The researchers have used cells obtained from donors , which can be stored
and thus dispose of them at the right time , between 5 and ten days after
infarction, to inject through the vascular network
For
now, already dealt seven people whose evolution is "very favorable despite
