THERAPEUTIC MATERIAL FOR CEREBRAL INFARCTION, AND METHOD FOR REGENERATION OF BRAIN TISSUE

摘要

Disclosed is a therapeutic material for cerebral infarction, which can recover a vascular disorder in an area affected by cerebral infarction to improve the brain function.  The therapeutic material for cerebral infarction comprises a dental pulp stem cell comprising at least one member selected from a CD105-positive cell, an SP cell, a CD24-positive cell, a CD133-positive cell, a CD271-positive cell and a CD150-positive cell.  The therapeutic material may additionally comprise a protein secreted from a dental pulp cell.  A transplanted dental pulp stem cell cannot be differentiated directly into a neural progenitor cell or a neurocyte, but is involved indirectly in the promotion of differentiation to eliminate an area affected by cerebral infarction, thereby recovering the affected area into a normal area.
