Adult Stem Cells For Diabetic Wound Healing

Wednesday, March 13th, 2013

Pre-clinical research has generated very promising findings using adult stem cells from bone marrow for the treatment of diabetic wounds.

Research carried out by scientists at the National University of Ireland Galway is published in this month’s official journal of The American Diabetes Association. The work was led by researchers at the University’s Regenerative Medicine Institute (REMEDI), which is supported by Science Foundation Ireland.
