Can stem cells hasten COVID recovery and halt deaths? Miami study has positive results



San Luis Obispo county Public Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein cited a new study that said in cases where masks don't prevent infection, they may reduce the severity of COVID-19 infections by reducing the viral load.


A faster recovery from the most severe of COVID-19 conditions? Fewer deaths from the novel coronavirus? University of Miami Miller School of Medicine researchers hope those findings are a lasting result of a study UM led that used stem cells derived from umbilical cords to combat COVID.


The COVID-umbilical study was published in January’s Stem Cells Translational Medicine journal. The randomized controlled trial showed umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell infusions can safely reduce the risk of death and quicken recovery time for COVID-19 patients suffering the most severe conditions, according to the published results.


The study’s senior author, Dr. Camillo Ricordi, director of UM’s Diabetes Research Institute and Cell Transplant Center, told the Miami Herald on Wednesday that “the study clearly indicates that these stem cells decrease the hyper immune, hyper inflammatory response associated with severe cases of COVID-19.»


Ricordi said that the results of patient survival rate — 100% for those younger than 85 — and faster time to recovery “are unprecedented and unmatched by any other treatment so far reported».
