One of the problems with cell therapy after injury is the possibility of accelerating scar tissue formation. The current patent teaches the use of X-rays, administered by parallel micro-beams at doseages that are sufficient to remove inhibitors of regeneration.
The patent also discloses the use of exogenous stem cells in combination with the X-rays in order to accelerate healing.
