Transplants of Adult Mesenchymal and Neural Stem Cells Provide Neuroprotection and Behavioral Sparing in a Transgenic Rat Model of Huntington’s Disease
13 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
Stem cells have gained significant interest as a potential treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington's disease (HD). One source of these cells is adult neural stem cells (aNSCs), which differentiate easily into neuronal lineages. However, these cells are vulnerable to immune responses following transplantation. Another source is bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which release...
