Transplantation of Human Fetal Mesencephalic Tissue in Caudate Nucleus as a Treatment for Parkinson's Disease. Long-Term Follow-Up
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on two primary motivating factors, namely the successful functional grafting of embryonic nervous tissue to brain in animal models of neurological disorders, and the need of new therapeutic alternatives for many patients with severe Parkinson's disease, a

Neural Transplantation as a Strategy for Recovery of CNS Functions
Transplants of neural tissue have been used for nearly 100 years in order to clarify the mechanisms that underlie development and regeneration of the nervous system. With reports from Sweden and Mexico that autografts of adrenal medulla produce at least transient and perhaps dramatic improvement in patients severly disabled by Parkinson's disease, the techniques of neural transplantation have ...
متن کاملAutologous Adrenal Medullary, Fetal Mesencephalic, and Fetal Adrenal Brain Transplantation in Parkinson's Disease: A Long-Term Postoperative Follow-Up
We report on the clinical status of 5 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) 3 years after autologous adrenal medullary (AM)-to-caudate nucleus (CN) implantation, and of 2 PD patients, 2 years after fetal ventral mesencephalon (VM)- and fetal adrenal (A)-to-CN homotransplantation. Current clinical evaluation of 4 of the AM grafted patients revealed sustained bilateral amelioration of their PD s...
متن کاملBilateral caudate and putamen grafts of embryonic mesencephalic tissue treated with lazaroids in Parkinson's disease.
Five parkinsonian patients were transplanted bilaterally into the putamen and caudate nucleus with human embryonic mesencephalic tissue from between seven and nine donors. To increase graft survival, the lipid peroxidation inhibitor tirilazad mesylate was administered to the tissue before implantation and intravenously to the patients for 3 days thereafter. During the second postoperative year,...
متن کاملLong-term clinical outcome of fetal cell transplantation for Parkinson disease: two case reports.
IMPORTANCE Recent advances in stem cell technologies have rekindled an interest in the use of cell replacement strategies for patients with Parkinson disease. This study reports the very long-term clinical outcomes of fetal cell transplantation in 2 patients with Parkinson disease. Such long-term follow-up data can usefully inform on the potential efficacy of this approach, as well as the desig...
متن کاملOptimizing functional imaging protocols for assessing the outcome of fetal cell transplantation in Parkinson's disease
Clinical trials aiming to assess the safety and efficacy of fetal cell transplantation in Parkinson's disease rely on the hypothesis that the grafted tissue will survive and grow, restore striatal dopaminergic neurotransmission, improve the connectivity between striatum, thalamus and cortex and, thereby, produce long-lasting clinical improvement while avoiding the development of adverse effects...
