Summary

This early study tested whether injections of cells from donated placentas are safe for people with blocked leg arteries and diabetic foot ulcers. Fifteen adults with diabetes received one of several doses. The main goal was to check for side effects and find the safest dose. This is a first step to see if this approach might help heal wounds and improve blood flow.
