  • Studies reveal that the use of stem cell therapy is effective in the improvement of the function of the left ventricle and occasional attenuation of left ventricle dilation. (stemfinitycord.com)
  • Several studies have shown that stem cell therapy is effective in managing heart failure, however, stem cells are affected by inflammatory environments and thus develop inflammatory properties. (stemfinitycord.com)
  • As the technology and discovery of new methods of treating patients has evolved, the science shows that the optimal way to provide true "stem cell therapy" is to directly provide the signals as its own therapy and avoid potential issues with delivering and keeping transplanted cells alive.
