Stem cells and retinal repair.
Retinal stem cells (RSCs) are multipotent central nervous system (CNS) precursors that give rise to the retina during the course of development. RSCs are present in the embryonic eyecup of all vertebrate species and remain active in lower vertebrates throughout life. Mammals, however, exhibit little RSC activity in adulthood and thus little capacity for retinal growth or regeneration. Because C...
متن کاملAre Stem Cells the next Therapeutic Tool for Heart Repair?
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and Europe. In recent years, the understanding that regenerative processes exist at the level of the myocardium, has placed stem cell research at center stage in cardiology. A stem cell is a cell that has the ability to divide (self replicate) for indefinite periods often throughout the life of the ...
متن کاملEmbryonic stem cells and retinal repair
In this review we examine the potential of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) for use in the treatment of retinal diseases involving photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). We outline the ontogenesis of target retinal cell types (RPE, rods and cones) and discuss how an understanding of developmental processes can inform our manipulation of ESCs in vitro. Due to their potential for cellula...
متن کاملNew molecule for mobilizing marrow stem cells.
In this issue of Blood, Zhang et al describe an exciting new small-molecule antagonist of CXCL12-CXCR4 binding with a potent ability to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Further clinical development of this new drug,Me6TREN, may have broad applications in stem-cell mobilization for cancer and in regenerative medicine.
متن کاملG-CSF for mobilizing transplanted bone marrow stem cells in rat model of Parkinson's disease
Objective(s): Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is used in clinical practice for the treatment of neutropenia and to stimulate generation of hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow donors. In the present study, the ability of G-CSF in mobilizing exogenous bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) from peripheral blood into the brain was tested. We for the first time injected a small amount of ...
