Although most peripheral tissues have at least a limited ability for self-repair, the central
nervous system (CNS) has long been known to be relatively resistant to regeneration. Small …

Multipotent stem/progenitor cells from bone marrow stroma (mesenchymal stromal cells or
MSCs) were previously shown to enhance proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells …

Adult central nervous system (CNS) tissue has a limited capacity to recover after trauma or
disease. Hence, tissue engineering scaffolds intended for CNS repair and rehabilitation have …

The central nervous system has limited capacity of regenerating lost tissue in slowly progressive,
degenerative neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's …

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by neurodegenerative changes or apoptosis
of neurons involved in networks, leading to permanent paralysis and loss of sensation …

… Zietlow and associates (2007) review the potential of human stem cells for CNS repair in
general, whereas Morizane et al. (2007) focus on the potential of neural, embryonic, and other …

The use of stem cells in the treatment of traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) in recent years
has provided promising results. Different sources of cells for transplantation have been used, …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in loss of nervous tissue and consequently loss of motor and
sensory function. There is no treatment available that restores the injury-induced loss of …

Study design: A prospective, non-randomized clinical series trial. Objective: To evaluate the
effect of autogenous undifferentiated stem cell infusion for the treatment of patients with …

Using a complete spinal cord transection model, the present study employed a combinatorial
strategy comprising rat bone marrow stem cells (rBMSCs) and polymer scaffolds to …
