Neural Stem Cell Grafts Show Promise for Myelin Repair in Multiple Sclerosis

Neural stem cell grafts show promise for myelin repair in multiple sclerosis

A study led by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central nervous system.

Stem cell transplant has long-term benefits for MS patients: Study

Nearly two-thirds of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who underwent a stem cell transplant showed no signs of confirmed disability progression five years later, according to a study tracking MS […] The post No MS disability progression for over 60% after stem cell transplant appeared first on Multiple Sclerosis News Today.

Evidence for Neural Stem Cell-Based Therapies in Multiple Sclerosis

Research indicates that neural stem cell transplants could promote myelin repair in progressive multiple sclerosis, paving the way for innovative treatments.

Neural Stem Cell Grafts Restore Myelin in MS-Like Lesions in Mice

A new study led by scientists at the University of Cambridge has shown that induced neural stem cell (iNSC) grafts can successfully generate myelin-producing cells in mice with lesions similar to those seen in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). The research, published in the journal Brain, marks the first time that stem cell grafts have been shown to directly replace lost oligodendrocytes to promote remyelination in the central nervous system …

Stem cell sleep deprivation

Could sleep deprivation be the reason stem cell therapy fails in some cases? It appears so. In a recent study using the mouse Cuprizone (demyelination model), it was shown that sleep-deprived bone …
