Guest guest Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Human trials for stem cell repair http://latimes/com A stem cell repair technique that has already been used to fix injuries in hundreds of racehorses is to be tested for the first time in people with damaged Achilles tendons. Privately owned British biotech firm MedCell Bioscience Ltd. said Wednesday that it would start clinical tests within 12 months and planned to run a larger study at several European hospitals in 2011. Patients will receive injections containing millions of their own stem cells, which have been extracted and multiplied in a laboratory.
