How Circulating Stem Cells Exit Blood Vessels

Tyler Allen describes a new way for circulating stem cells to exit blood vessels when injected into the blood for therapies.
Injecting adult stem cells into the bloodstream could help regenerate tissue damaged by heart attacks. For this to happen, circulating stem cells need to exit blood vessels and reach the damaged tissue. While scientists knew that circulating stem cells are able to exit the bloodstream, how they did it was a mystery. In this lecture, Tyler Allen describes angiopellosis, a new way for circulating stem cells to exit blood vessels when injected into the blood for therapies.

Tyler Allen received his bachelor's degrees in Biology and Plant Biology from North Carolina (NC) State University.
