METHOD FOR STIMULATING SPINAL CORD REGENERATION WITH GENETICALLY MODIFIED HUMAN UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD CELLS

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: what is presented is a method for stimulating the post-traumatic spinal cord regeneration consisting in a single-stage transplantation of human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells pre-transduced with recombinant adenovirus with a cloned gene of glial derived neurotrophic factor (gdnf), in the damage area.;EFFECT: using the invention enables providing a better outcome of the post-traumatic spinal cord regeneration, reduced length of staying in hospital of patients suffering from a spinal cord injury and improving the patients' quality of life.;1 ex
