摘要:
A method of generating a population of cells useful for treating a brain disorder in a subject is disclosed. The method comprises contacting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with at least one exogenous miRNA having a nucleic acid sequence at least 90% identical to a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 15-19 and 27-35, thereby generating the population of cells and/or generating neurotrophic factors that may provide important signals to damaged tissues or locally residing stem cells. MSCs differentiated by miRs may also secrete miRs and deliver them to adjacent cells and therefore provide important signals to neighboring endogenous normal or malignant cells.
摘要:
Some embodiments of the invention comprise methods, systems, and compositions to selectively induce, whether in vitro or in vivo, the neuronal differentiation of multipotent stromal cells through the application of microRNAs, including but not limited to miRNA-124, miRNA-137 and/or miRNA-9* expression products of those miRNAs, and molecules and compositions containing functional elements of those miRNAs. Some embodiments of the invention also comprise the therapeutic administration and use of such induced cells to treat mammalian injuries and diseases, including but not limited to, nervous system injuries or diseases that may otherwise result in decreased cell or system function.

摘要:
The invention provides nanoparticles consisting of a polymer which is a metal chelating agent coated with a magnetic metal oxide, wherein at least one active agent is covalently bound to the polymer, said nanoparticles may optionally further comprise at least one active agent physically or covalently bound to the outer surface of the magnetic metal oxide. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising these nanoparticles may be used, inter alia, for detection and treatment of tumors and inflammations.
