Stem cells are mobilized from bone marrow by administering an amount of Phe-Pro-His-Phe-Asp-Leu-Ser-His-Gly-Ser-Ala-Gin-Val (SEQ ID NO: 1) effective to mobilize the stem cells. This method is useful for promoting preservation, repair, or regeneration of bodily tissue, or revascularization, in a patient in need of such treatment. Alternatively, the mobilized stem cells can be collected for transplant. |
