Stem cells are mobilized into the peripheral blood by a method comprising the steps of: (i) administering to an individual at least one of the following: FGF1 and FGF2, and also at least one of the following: VEGF, VEGFA, VEGFB, PLGF, VEGF121, VEGF145, VEGF165, VEGF189, and VEGF206; (ii) isolating the peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) by apheresis; and (iii) treating a patient suffering from organ disease with PBSC. Alternatively, gene therapy is used for the induction of the stem cells into the peripheral blood, wherein the gene therapy formulation comprises AD5FGF-4 or VEGF165 plasmid DNA. Additionally, the progress of the treatment of the organ disease is monitored by using an ultrasound unit.
