摘要:
The invention provides methods of treating diseases, disorsers or injuries involving demyelination and dysmyelination, including multiple sclerosis, by the administration of a Sema6A polypeptide.
摘要:
This invention provides cells and methods for stimulating proliferation and migration of endogenous and exogenous mammalian stem cells in vivo and in vitro. The invention provides reagents and methods for efficiently proliferating mammalian stem cells in an animal in need thereof and producing stem cells that can be re-introduced into an animal in need thereof to alleviate neurological and corporal disorders.
摘要:
Methods of treating a human patient having a disease, disorder or condition of the central nervous system are disclosed. The methods include obtaining a bone marrow sample from a human donor, isolating stromal cells from the bone marrow sample, and administering the isolated stromal cells to the central nervous system of the human patient, wherein the presence of the isolated stromal cells in the brain effects treatment of the disease, disorder or condition. Stromal cells which are isolated may be cultured in vitro, they may be genetically engineered to produce therapeutic compounds, and/or they may be predifferentiated prior to administration into the central nervous system.
摘要:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing retinal nerve cells from iris pigmented epithelial cells having possibility of effective utilization for regenerative medical treatment without necessitating gene introduction by inducing differentiation of the retinal nerve cells. SOLUTION: The method for the production of a retinal nerve cell includes a step of inducing the differentiation of an iris pigmented epithelial cell to a retinal nerve cell by adherent culture, on a serum-free medium, the iris pigmented epithelial cell being separated from the eyeball and free from gene introducing treatment. The iris pigmented epithelial cell is selectively cultured by a suspended aggregate culture method after isolated from the eyeball. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
摘要:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide mammalian multipotent adult stem cells (MASC), and more specifically methods for obtaining, maintaining and differentiating MASC to cells of multiple tissue types, and uses of MASC in the therapeutic treatment of disease. SOLUTION: A cell capable of being differentiated into each of mesodermal, ectodermal and endodermal origins, and capable of being practically differentiated into at least one of these cell types, and a cell population.

摘要:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for inducing the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase in neural cells. SOLUTION: The neural cells are cultured by using a glial cell conditioned medium in which a feeder layer and at least one selected from a member of fibroblast growth factor family are added.
