Randomized Phase 2b Dose-Escalation Trial of Stem Cell Therapy with Laromestrocel for Aging Frailty
Randomized Controlled TrialHuman2026
In a study with older adults who were frail, those who got the stem cell treatment could walk about 63 meters farther after nine months than those who got a fake treatment — that’s like walking an extra 1.5 football fields. This means the treatment helped them be more physically strong and less frail.

That doesn't mean it's settled — it just means no study has tested the opposite.
Quality-weighted scoring: we follow the GRADE framework — each study is rated High, Moderate, Low, or Very Low based on study design, methodology rigor, and risk of bias. A single high-quality RCT can outweigh several weaker observational studies.
Scores reflect study quality, not just count.
Stem cells release a protein that blocks an enzyme from breaking down a key receptor on blood vessel walls. This keeps the receptor active, which strengthens blood vessels and helps more blood flow to muscle fibers that need oxygen for endurance. With better blood flow, muscles can work longer without tiring, allowing a person to walk farther.
