Abstract
This invention relates to methods of autologous transplantation for the treatment of damaged or diseased tissues, muscle, or organs. This invention also relates to methods of allogeneic transplantation for the treatment of damaged tissues and organs. In the methods of the invention, cells are obtained by apheresis and implanted into the tissue, muscle, or organ to ameliorate damage or disease.
Claims45
A method of treating damaged or diseased tissue of a subject, comprising:
- (a) isolating stem cells from peripheral blood of a donor by apheresis;
- and
- (b) implanting a population of the isolated stem cells into tissue in need of treatment, whereby implantation of the stem cells ameliorates damage or disease of the tissue.
A method of treating damaged or diseased striated muscle tissue of a subject, which comprises:
- (a) isolating stem cells from peripheral blood of a donor by apheresis;
- and
- (b) implanting a population of the isolated stem cells into said striated muscle tissue in need of treatment,
- whereby implantation of the stem cells ameliorates damage or disease of the striated muscle tissue.
A method of treating an ischemic organ in a subject, which comprises:
- (a) isolating stem cells from peripheral blood of a donor by apheresis;
- and
- (b) implanting the isolated stem cells into the ischemic organ,
- whereby implantation of the stem cells ameliorates the damage or disease in the ischemic organ.
