More than 25 million patients suffer from PAD in the developed countries [1-5]. An additional cause of PAD is vasculitis including thromboangitis obliterance (TAO) (Buerger’s disease), which can also lead to severe limb ischemia. Chronic critical limb ischemia (CLI) is defin...

Cell-based therapy is an emerging field but one that has shown early promise for the treatment of human kidney diseases. The most widely used cell is the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) given its ability to be harvested from bone marrow, expanded in culture, and used in allogeneic protocols. The beneficial effects of MSCs occur through differentiation-independent pathways that include increased cel...
