HONG KONG – Chinese researchers have demonstrated that grafted neural stem cells directly release dopamine into the damaged striata of rat brains in vivo and partially rescued a model of Parkinson's disease (PD), providing proof of concept for the feasibility of that technique for treating PD in humans.
HONG KONG - A multidisciplinary research team from the Singapore-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Alliance in Research and Technology (SMART) has identified a unique set of biophysical markers that are predictive for multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells in bone marrow, which should make it easier to develop stem cell-based therapies.
