criticism

In December 2012, the Süddeutsche Zeitung published a report after the studies on the use of the body's own stem cells in heart attacks were possibly manipulated. The hospital of the University of Düsseldorf commissioned an external commission of experts to further investigate the matter on the basis of information "from outside".

In July 2013 the International Journal of Cardiology published the results of a review of 48 of his publications and identified "hundreds of errors".
