Hello manoj kumar valluru,
An interesting patent, # 7,459,307, was issued last week covering the use of cord blood stem cells together with biodegradable scaffolds for treatment of cartilage injury. Vet-Stem has created a profitable business through using autologous fat for treatment of similar conditions. This will be an interesting area to watch, especially for high-performance athletes.
Another patent, #7,462,602, covers the use of ribozymes for inhibition of scar tissue formation. The ribozymes target connective tissue growth factor (CTGF).
In the news, the first time in the world, autologous stem cells were administered via the intracoronary route to a 2-year old patient with heart failure caused by dilated cardiomyopathy.
