Today, we want to highlight results from human trials in which stem cell transplants have been shown to reduce age-related frailty.

There has been considerable interest in stem cell therapies to combat frailty in recent years, and the results we will discuss today are from one of the more advanced human clinical trials exploring mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplants [1].
