abstract

traumatic brain injury (tbi) is described by a disruption in the normal function of the brain due to an injury following a trauma, which can potentially cause severe physical, cognitive, and emotional impairment. the use of human stem cells and self-assembling peptide scaffolds suggest huge potential for application in the treatment of tbi. in the present study, we surveyed the beneficial effects of human adipose-derived stem cells (hadscs), human epileptic neural stem cells (henscs), and puramatrix hydrogel (pm) in an acute brain injury model of mild tbi using 3 months rats. hadscs and henscs were transplanted with or without scaffolds into rats brain and the electroencephalography were compared. modified neurologic severity score (mnss) tests were performed to measure behavioral outcomes. pm scaffold increased the retention of henscs in the lesion site and limited its distribution at the transplanted region. significantly more henscs were detected in the brain when transplanted with pm scaffold. the results showed pm scaffold also efficiently improved cell survival in vivo, resulting in better neural functional recovery. we hypothesized that pm scaffold would improve early engraftment and support the survival of grafted cells and functional recovery post-transplantation.

P91: Auto Graft Transplantation of Adult Human Neural Stem Cells in Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury as a Hypothesis

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) leading to 5 million deaths annually is 1 of the 5 major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Iran, accidents are the main cause of death in youth as well as a dominant factor in reducing quality of life. In developing countries TBI incidence as one of the worst consequences of these accidents is growing due to wide use of motor-vehicles. Therapeutic stra...

O13: Human Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells Derived from Epileptic Human Brain in A Self-Assembling Peptide Nanoscaffold Attenuates Neuroinlammation in Traumatic Brain Injury in Rats

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disruption in the brain functions following a head trauma. Cell therapy may provide a promising treatment for TBI. Human neural stem cells cultured in self-assembling peptide scaffolds have been proposed as a potential novel method for cell replacement treatment after TBI. In the present study, we accessed the effects of human neural stem/progenitor cells (hNS/...

P 104: Effects of Human Neural Stem Cells in Cure Neuroinflammation of Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as an external mechanical injury to the brain. Neuroinflammation plays a vital role in the pathophysiology of TBI. Microglia and astrocytes play a central role in the initiation and regulation of inflammation. Numerous pro-inflammatory mediators including cytokines, chemokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) released by microglia. In ...

O14: Application of Neural Stem Cells Derived from Human Meningioma in Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury is considered as one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Apart from primary mechanical injury, Secondary injuries due to inflammation and apoptosis result in great neuronal damage. Current treatments are not able to regenerate the damaged part and prevent future sequels. Using human stem cells with self-assembling scaffolds may be promising in treatme...
