Engraftment of Dopamine Neuron Precursor Cells Derived from Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Preliminary In Vivo Study
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Cell therapy has been proposed as an alternative for treatment of neurodegenerative disorder. Parkinson’s Diseases (PD) are caused by specific and selective loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons [1]. The possibility of replacing those cells has been explored through the transplantation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs), fetal stem cells, induced pluripotential stem cells (iPSCs), and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in animal models and clinical trials [1,2]. The aim of this study was to explore the possibility of transplanting adult MSCs pre-differentiated into dopaminergic neurons and look for their capability to brain engraftment and the possible improvement of PD symptoms in a PD rat model.

Objective(s): End-stage hepatic failure is a potentially life-threatening condition for which orthotopic liver transplantation is the only effective treatment. However, a shortage of available donor organs for transplantation each year results in the death of many patients waiting for liver transplantation. Xenotransplantation, or the transplantation of cells, tissues, or organs between differe...

Background and Objective: Nowadays, although umbilical cord blood is a commonly used source of hematopoietic stem cell, its low frequency of these cells is the main factor limiting its clinical application. The transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells derived from placenta tissue along with umbilical cord blood cells of the same sample may be an appropriate approach to solve this problem. In...

Objective(s): Among several cell sources, adult human neural stem/progenitor cells (hNS/PCs) have been considered outstanding cells for performing mechanistic studies in in vitro and in vivo models of neurological disorders as well as for potential utility in cell-based therapeutic approaches. Previous studies addressed the isolation and culture of hNS/PCs from human neocortical and hippocampal...

Introduction: As an inherited neurodegenerative disease, Huntington's disease is accompanied with wide neuronal degeneration in neostriatum and neocortex. Progress of the disease causes disabling clinical effects on movements, recognition and physiology of the body, and finally results in death. At this stage of knowledge we are, there is no effective therapeutic strategy for diminishing the mo...
متن کاملHarvesting of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from live rats and the in vitro differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into neuron-like cells
In the bone marrow, there are certain populations of stem cell sources with the capacity to differentiate into several different types of cells. Ideally, cell transplants would be readily obtainable, easy to expand and bank, and capable of surviving for sufficient periods of time. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) possess all of these characteristics. One of the most important benefi...
