Biohellenika performed in Thessaloniki the first therapeutic application of stem cells derived from adipose tissue, in a diabetic patient, that was suffered from foot ulcers. The ulcers despite the therapies that the patient underwent could not heal and so stem cell therapy was considered. The abstraction of adipose tissue was performed by liposuction of about 100cm3 around the umbilical area, and the tissue immediately arrived to the Biohellenika labs for cell separation. The stem cells after isolation were administered to the edges of the ulcer with injections at the periphery. The patient was under surveillance. Ten days after the administration the ulcer presented a significant improvement in a degree that never until today had been evident, regardless the general condition of the patient who was under chemotherapy because of a lung cancer. All the previous treatments were failed and because of the healing, now the general condition of the patient is improved and the low fever that every day were tired the patient now is disappeared. The state of the patient from that day continually improves.
