Germinal Center decreasing after AugmenStemTM treatment,

G-CSF only
Chemo and radiation recovery
G-CSF mobilization must first saturate the splenic
niches before circulating stem cells can be found.
Therefore, 5 to 14 days of G-CSF are required and
splenomegaly is a dangerous side-effect.
AugmenStemTM blocks the splenic accumulation,
reducing the needed days of G-CSF and
preventing splenomegaly.
Regenerative medicine
Human clinical trials demonstrate
that stem cells escape from locally
treated tissues ( heart, brain) and
the sequester in spleen.
AugmenStemTM blocks this,
keeping stem cells in the
circulation to be chemo-attracted
into damaged tissue.
Germinal center lymphomas
Lymphomas can hide in the spleen and
germinal centers. AugmenStemTM
eliminates germinal centers and forces
cancer cells into the blood where
chemotherapy can kill them.
Bone marrow transplant
Transplanted cells first home to the
spleen and form huge colonies
visible to the eye (white nodules in
the picture above). From there, stem
cells repopulate the bone marrow.

Conclusion: Splenectomy + stem cells significantly reduced

compared to stem cells alone.
Stem cell fluorescent intensity in the liver was significantly
greater in splenectomized rats 5 days after stem cell injection.

How do we optimize stem cell delivery?
TERM HERE
Type the subtitle of your great here
Stem cell sequestration in spleen and
lymph nodes is a ubiquitous phenomenon.
It is independent of type of stem cell, route
of administration and disease. Moreover,
the sequestered cells are long-term and
viable cells.
AVM technologies control this by
blocking stem cell sequestration ,
enabling stem cells to remain
longer in circulation and home in
greater numbers to sites of injury
