Human cord blood-derived mononuclear cells(Shandong Qilu Stem Cells Engineering)

Refractory diabetic foot is one of the most serious and costly chronic complications of diabetes. It is the leading cause of nontraumatic lower-extremity amputations while the conventional treatment is not effective. Therefore, new therapeutic methods are urgently needed. Cell therapy has shown unique advantages and potential in tissue regeneration and wound repair, and is considered as a new effective method to treat diabetic foot. Meanwhile, human cord blood-derived mononuclear cells (HCB-MNCs) with its sufficient sources, strong ability of proliferation and differentiation, and weak immunogenicity, is suitable for the treatment of diabetic foot. It is a prospective, single-arm, single-center clinical study to investigate the efficacy and safety of local injection of HCB-MNCs in the treatment of refractory diabetic foot.
