Neural Induction with Neurogenin1 Increases the Therapeutic Effects of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Ischemic Brain
10 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to ameliorate a variety of neurological dysfunctions. This effect is believed to be mediated by their paracrine functions, since these cells rarely differentiate into neuronal cells. It is of clinical interest whether neural induction of MSCs is beneficial for the replacement therapy of neurological diseases. Here we report that expression of Neurogenin1 (Ngn1), a...
