Autoimmune Disease Treatment with Stem Cell Transplantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autoimmune Diseases (ADs) are diseases in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys selfmolecules due to a disruption of immunologic tolerance to auto-reactive immune cells. The goals of treatments for ADs are to 1) reduce symptoms, 2) control the autoimmune process and 3) maintain the body’s ability to fight disease. Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell (HSC) transplantation has been shown to be a relatively successful treatment for experimental ADs. Intra Bone Marrow-Bone Marrow Transplantation (IBM-BMT) has been proven to be a powerful strategy for allogeneic BMT due to the rapid hemopoietic recovery and the complete restoration of T cell functions even in donor-recipient combinations across MHC barriers. In this review, we summarize the ADs treatable with IBM-BMT. Citation: Li M, Ikehara S (2013) Autoimmune Disease Treatment with Stem Cell Transplantation.

O 8: Tenasin-C as a New Target for Multiple Sclerosis Treatment
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease, which is characterized by demyelination and neuroinflammation. Extracellular Matrix (ECM) have important role in the central nervous system (CNS). Alterations are happening to the ECM after the CNS disorder like MS, Alzheimer and other neural injury. Tenasin-C (TnC) is a glycoprotein that is highly expressed in inflammatory conditions of the CNS...

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) has been recognized as a common neurodegenerative disease that occurs after an Auto reactive T cells against myelin antigens. Demyelination and inflammation are the main features of this disease. The anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective roles of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) have been considered as a suitable tre...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease which affects myelin in the central nervous system (CNS) and leads to serious disability. Currently available treatments for MS mainly suppress the immune system. Regenerative medicine-based approaches attempt to increase myelin repair by targeting endogenous progenitors or transplanting stem cells or their derivatives. Fingolimod exerts anti-inf...

Background: Burkitt lymphoma is a common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in children. It has a rapid and aggressive clinical course with frequent involvement of bone marrow and central nervous system. Systemic chemotherapy is the mainstay of the treatment for this malignancy in children. In this systematic review, we discuss autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSC...
