Dr Itescu established Angioblast Systems in 2001 with a focus on development and commercialization of novel therapeutic products for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and vascular disorders. Driven by the fascination towards stem cell research, Dr Itescu began to look for more effective ways of restoring damaged tissue, particularly the heart. His global search led him to South Australia's Hanson Institute where scientists had identified adult stem cells with the potential to regenerate heart tissue and to form new blood vesse ls to improve the heart's blood supply. The same cells were also able to replace bone at the site of fractures and form blood vessels to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the new bone.

And as a bit more of the story around the Mesoblast acquisition of Angioblast in 2010, this is one of the ASX announcements.http://www.abnnewswire.net/media/en/docs/62844-ASX-MSB-336282.pdf The ABC reported that Mesoblast was set to become the largest stem cell developer in the world.
