Using stem cells in multiple sclerosis therapies.

چکیده
Stem cell transplantation approaches offer for the first time the opportunity to design therapeutic approaches for multiple sclerosis (MS) with curative intent. Here we discuss key observations and questions emerging from clinical trials of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for MS and from studies of myelin/neural repair in experimental models of demyelinating disorders.

Immunomodulatory Effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Multiple Sclerosis and Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis: A Review Study
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that may lead to disability of the patient. Current MS treatment regimens are still insufficient and research is conducted for developing more effective therapies capable of targeting neurodegeneration, inflammation, and demyelination. Recent results of experimental and clinical studies in ...
متن کاملP 53: Stem Cell Therapy for Treatment of Autoimmune Diseases (with Emphasis on Multiple Sclerosis)
Autoimmune diseases have been described as an interesting and poorly understood group of disorders. There are many challenges in the respective scientific societies concerning the nature, causes and the therapeutic approaches of these diseases. In accordance with the evidences the nature and etiology of these disorders is multifactorial and complex but the clearest definition could be expressed...
متن کاملThe Role of Stem Cell Therapy in Multiple Sclerosis: an Overview of the Current Status of the Clinical Studies
The complexity of multiple sclerosis (MS) and the incompetence of a large number of promise treatments in MS urge us to plan new and more effective therapeutic approaches that aim to suppress ongoing autoimmune responses and induction of local endogenous regeneration. Emerging data propose that hematopoietic, mesenchymal and neural stem cells have the potential to restore self-tolerance, to pro...

Neuroinflammation has a significant role in induce of Multiple sclerosis (MS) many approaches have been used to treat MS, but none of these methods have not been able to fully improve. One of the methods can suppress inflammation and regenerate the nervous system is the use of cell therapy. Using cell therapy in pre-clinic phase can be realized, it's mechanism and potency to suppress neuroinfla...

Objective(s): The current investigation was undertaken to evaluate the effects of 17β- estradiol (17β-ED) on the potential of the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for modulation of immunity responses in an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS).Materials and Methods: After isolation of MSCs, cells were cultured in presence of 100 nM 17β-ED for 24 hr. Modeling of experimental autoimmune encephalom...
