    Abstract : The incidence of type 1 diabetes is increasing worldwide and therapies of islet transplantation and potential cell-based therapies are rapidly evolving. Choosing the optimal site for such therapies is crucial for safety and for obtaining the best possible outcome. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cell Therapy in lntervertebral Disc Degeneration

    Author : Papadimitriou Nicolaos; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Low back pain; Mesenchymal stromal cell; Intervertebral disc; Intervertebral disc degeneration; Degenerative disc disease; Cell therapy;

    Abstract : Background: Chronic low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is central in the pathogenesis. The injection of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) into degenerate intervertebral discs (IVDs) has been proposed as an alternative therapy. READ MORE

  7. 5. Extracellular factors for preservation and delivery of stromal cells

    Author : Kim Olesen; Karl-Henrik Grinnemo; Andreas Tilevik; Wing Cheung Mak; Cecilia Österholm; Magnus Fagerlind; Yuji Teramura; Högskolan i Skövde; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
