In the last 2 decades studies have been showing that organs such as the heart, brain and kidney have "endogenous stem cells" that are capable of creating a certain, albeit small, degree of regeneration after injury.

The French beauty brand Lancôme released results on its product, "Absolue Precious Cells", a face cream being toted as having antiaging properties based on stem cell content.
Today NOXXON announced that is has successfully administered its NOX-A12 aptamer-based mobilizer to healthy volunteers as part of a Phase I clinical trial.
