BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION FOR TREATMENT OF CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE

摘要

There is provided a treatment for patients suffering from neurodegenerativedisease or neural injury including the steps of transplanting cultured bonemarrow cells into the spinal cord or brain or injecting intravascularly bonemarrow cells of a patient in need. Also provided is a method of activating thedifferentiation of neural cells in an injured brain including the steps oftransplanting bone marrow cells adjacent to the injured brain cells andactivating the endogenous central nervous system stem cells to differentiateinto neurons. A method of treating injured brain or spinal cord cells is alsoprovided including the steps of transplanting bone marrow cells near theinjured brain cells and generating new neurons at the location oftransplantation. A method of treating injured brain or spinal cord cells witha composite of MSCs and neurospheres.
