Preconditioning Human MSCs from Amputated Ischemic Limbs for Autologous Clinical
Application.
The goal of this project is to optimize the in vitro culture of human mesenchymal stem
cells from the bone marrow of amputated human limbs for subsequent use as cellular
therapy in patients with limb ischemia.
