VERBESSERTE ZELLTHERAPIE UND GEWEBSREGENERATION MITTELS STOSSWELLEN BEI PATIENTEN MIT KARDIOVASKULÄREN AND NEUROLOGISCHEN KRANKHEITEN

摘要

The present invention relates to methods for improving the cell therapy in a patient suffering from a cardiovascular or a neurological disease undergoing cell therapy by using shock waves as a therapeutic tool for targeting the recruitment of stem and/or progenitor cells to a tissue of said patient affected by the disease. The present invention also relates to methods for improving the tissue regeneration in a patient suffering from a cardiovascular or neurological disease and methods for treating a cardiovascular or neurological disease in a patient. The present invention further relates to the use of stem and/or progenitor cells for preparing a pharmaceutical composition for treating a patient suffering from a cardiovascular disease or neurological disease wherein the patient is subjected to a treatment with shock waves before, during or after administration of the stem and/or progenitor cells.
