Mesenchymal stem cells for inducing tolerance in organ transplantation [PDF]

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2014
Organ transplantation is useful for treating the end stage of organ failure. The induction of tolerance to the transplanted organ is essential for its long-term survival. Immunologic tolerance can be induced by immunosuppressive agents and mixed chimerism.

Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells in ALS

, 2012
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating incurable, neurodegenerative disease that targets motor neurons (MNs) in the primary motor cortex, brainstem, and spinal cord, leading to muscle atrophy, paralysis, and death due to respiratory failure within 2-5 years. Currently, there is no cure for ALS.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells as Feeder Cells for Pancreatic Islet Transplants [PDF]

The Review of Diabetic Studies, 2010
Allogeneic islet transplantation serves as a source of insulin-secreting beta-cells for the maintenance of normal glucose levels and treatment of diabetes. However, limited availability of islets, high rates of islet graft failure, and the need for life-long non-specific immunosuppressive therapy are major obstacles to the widespread application of ...

Encapsulation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Dissecting the Underlying Mechanism of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transplantation Therapy [PDF]

Neuroscience Insights, 2020
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widely considered good candidates for cell transplantation therapy. Various central nervous system disorders have been suggested as suitable targets for MSC transplantation therapy. In this context, a great deal of basic and clinical research has been conducted to explore its clinical uses.

Spatiotemporal evolution of early innate immune responses triggered by neural stem cell grafting [PDF]

, 2012
INTRODUCTION: Transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) is increasingly suggested to become part of future therapeutic approaches to improve functional outcome of various central nervous system disorders. However, recently it has become clear that only

Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in multiple sclerosis [PDF]

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2013
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent non-hematopoietic precursor cells that can be isolated from bone marrow and numerous other tissues, culture-expanded to purity, and induced to differentiate in vitro and in vivo into mesodermal derivatives. MSCs exhibit many phenotypic and functional similarities to pericytes.
