Stem Cell Therapy for Peripheral Artery Disease
(stemcellpatents.com - September 7, 2007)

Summary: "This is a video describing the use of stem cells for treatment of peripheral artery disease. Numerous publications have supported the safety and efficacy of this approach which seems to not only directly cause angiogenesis but also mobilize host stem cells which apparently contribute to revascularization[.]"

Summary: “Dr. Michael Murphy was honored by the Indianapolis Business Journal at the Heathcare Heroes Breakfast as a finalist in the Advancement in Health Care category. Murphy was chosen for his role as the only physician in the country conducting an FDA approved Phase I clinical trial using stem cell injections to treat patients with peripheral vascular disease."
