Intranasal Wharton's Jelly‐Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy, Alone or in Conjunction With Therapeutic Hypothermia, Alleviates Neonatal Hypoxic‐Ischemic Brain Injury in Mice

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that intranasal Wharton's jelly‐derived mesenchymal stem cell (WJ‐MSC) administration at 3 or 10 days post‐insult reduced the lesion size and sensorimotor impairment following neonatal hypoxic‐ischemic (HI) brain injury in mice. WJ‐MSCs expressed receptors for HI‐upregulated chemokines and migrated from the nasal cavity into the

Growth in Cerebral Palsy

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, 2010
Cerebral palsy is often accompanied by abnormalities of growth and nutrition; children with severe motor impairments are most at risk. Nutrition, neurological, and endocrine factors all contribute to suboptimal growth. Poor growth and nutrition are associated with poor general health outcomes and reduced levels of participation, and therefore warrant ...
