Transplantation strategies to promote repair of the injured spinal cord.
This review describes the results of the transplantation of Schwann cells and olfactory ensheathing glia in combination with other interventions. The complete transection injury model was used to test the combination of Schwann cell bridges with methylprednisolone, neurotrophins, or olfactory ensheathing glia. The contusion injury model was used to compare Schwann cell and olfactory ensheathing...
متن کاملCell transplantation of peripheral-myelin-forming cells to repair the injured spinal cord.
Much excitement has been generated by recent work showing that a variety of myelin-forming cell types can elicit remyelination and facilitate axonal regeneration in animal models of demyelination and axonal transection. These cells include peripheral-myelin-forming cells, such as Schwann cells and olfactory ensheathing cells. In addition, progenitor cells derived from the subventricular zone of...
متن کاملRepair of the injured spinal cord and the potential of embryonic stem cell transplantation.
Traditionally, treatment of spinal cord injury seemed frustrating and hopeless because of the remarkable morbidity and mortality, and restricted therapeutic options. Recent advances in neural injury and repair, and the progress towards development of neuroprotective and regenerative interventions are basis for increased optimism. Neural stem cells have opened a new arena of discovery for the fi...
متن کاملRepair of Spinal Cord Injury by Co-Transplantation of embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Motor Neuron and Olfactory Ensheathing Cell
Background: The failure of regeneration after spinal cord injury (SCI) has been attributed to axonal demyelination and neuronal death. Cellular replacement and white matter regeneration are both necessary for SCI repair. In this study, we evaluated the co-transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells (OEC) and embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived motor neurons (ESMN) on contused SCI. Methods: OEC...
متن کاملTransplantation of erythropoietin gene-modified neural stem cells improves the repair of injured spinal cord
The protective effects of erythropoietin on spinal cord injury have not been well described. Here, the eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1 human erythropoietin was transfected into rat neural stem cells cultured in vitro. A rat model of spinal cord injury was established using a free falling object. In the human erythropoietin-neural stem cells group, transfected neural stem cells were injec...
