Methods of using colony stimulating factors in the treatment of tissue damage and ischemia

摘要

The present invention relates to novel uses of growth factors, particularly colony stimulating factors (CSFs), that stimulate migration and differentiation of stem cells in order to promote and enhance recovery from tissue trauma and ischemic events, including ischemia of the central nervous system, as well as for use in preventing or alleviating chronic degenerative processes, including neuronal degeneration.
