The described invention provides cellular therapeutic approaches for treating a vascular insufficiency following a traumatic injury to head or spine that results in an injury to brain, spinal cord, or both by administering a therapeutic amount of an isolated, nonexpanded population of autologous mononuclear cells comprising a subpopulation of CD34+ cells, which further contains a subpopulation of potent SDF-1 mobile CD34+/CXCR-4 cells that have CXCR-4-mediated chemotactic activity. |
