Stem Cells Used to Treat Vascular Disease in Mice
Human embryonic stem cells helped save limbs in mice with vascular
disease, says a study in the latest online edition of the journal
Circulation.
Researchers at Hanyang University in South Korea said stem cells were
coaxed into forming blood vessel cells that were grafted onto mice
limbs damaged by ischemia, a lack of sufficient blood flow, Agence
France-Presse reported.
Among the 11 mice that received this treatment, four developed new
vascular cells the fully revived the affected limb, four showed some
improvement, and three lost their limbs due to lack of blood flow.
All 10 mice given alternative treatment did not recover.
The study authors said additional research may enable scientists to
find ways to use this approach to create a wide range of blood
vessels in order to treat strokes and other ailments in people, AFP
reported.
