摘要:
A method of treating a patient with a neurodegenerative disease, such as ALS, using progenitor cells isolated from human umbilical cord blood. Non-invasive transplantation of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH+) expressing progenitor cells provides cell replacement and protection of motor neurons.

摘要:
A method of treating neurodegenerative diseases using hUCB plasma is presented herein. hUCB plasma attenuated the hyperactive response (Group III) and potentiated the normal response in Group I ALS patients, but did not alter that of the non-responders to PHA (Group II). The elevated activity of caspase 3/7 observed in the MNCs from ALS patients was significantly reduced by hUCB plasma treatment. The ability of hUCB plasma to modulate the mitogen cell response and reduce caspase activity suggest that the use of hUCB plasma alone, or with stem cells, may prove useful as a therapeutic in ALS patients. hUCB plasma was shown to increase therapeutic efficacy of MNCs as well as decrease apoptosis of MNCs. The cytokine profile of hUCB plasma supports its usefulness as a sole therapeutic as well as an additive to MNCs.
摘要:
A method of treating a fetus or embryo suspected of having a congenital condition that involves an abnormal or missing protein, the method has the steps of a. providing a plurality of human umbilical cord blood in a form suitable for intravenous administration; a b. administering the human umbilical cord blood cells to a mother carrying a fetus of embryo suspected of having said congenital condition. Such congenital conditions include Sanfilippo's syndrome, Hunter's syndrome, Hurler's syndrome, Tay-Sachs disease, Gaucher's disease, von Gierke's disease, Pompes disease, Cori disease, Andersen disease, McArdle's disease, Hers disease, Tauri's disease or Type IX glycogen storage disease.

摘要:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain. Increasing evidence shows autoimmune mechanisms likely promote disease progression. Human umbilical cord blood (hUCB) derived plasma is rich in cytokines and growth factors that are required for growth and survival of cells during hematopoiesis. hUCB plasma attenuated the hyperactive response (Group III) and potentiated the normal response in Group I ALS patients, but did not alter that of the non-responders to PHA (Group II). The elevated activity of caspase 3/7 observed in the MNCs from ALS patients was significantly reduced by hUCB plasma treatment. The ability of hUCB plasma to modulate the mitogen cell response and reduce caspase activity suggest that the use of hUCB plasma alone, or with stem cells, may prove useful as a therapeutic in ALS patients.

摘要:
Most spinal cord therapies are administered systemically, with only a small portion of the therapeutic reaching the spinal cord. A novel method for delivering therapeutics directly to the spinal cord is provided. The method uses a duel-balloon catheter to isolate the microvasculature around a region of the spinal cord. Once isolated, one or more therapeutics are delivered directly to the spinal cord blood supply. This allows for smaller, safer therapeutic does to be utilized.
摘要:
The disclosure provides methods of administering a composition comprising human bone marrow CD34+ (hBM34+) cells to a mammal in need thereof, whereby vascular damage in the blood-central nervous system barrier (B-CNS-B), such as in the blood-spinal cord barrier, of the mammal is repaired. The disclosure also provides a method of treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in a mammal by administering a composition comprising human bone marrow CD34+ cells (hBM34+).
