20090280564METHOD FOR INDUCING DIFFERENTIATION OF MESODERMAL STEM CELLS, ES CELLS, OR IMMORTALIZED MESODERMAL STEM CELLS INTO NEURAL CELLS - Mesodermal stem cells or ES cells, prepared from the mononuclear cell fraction isolated from bone marrow fluid or umbilical blood, were found to differentiate into neural stem cells, neurons, or glial cells when cultured in a basal culture medium. In addition, the differentiation of the mesodermal stem cells or ES cells into neural cells was promoted through the addition of an ischemic brain extract to the above-mentioned basal culture medium. Furthermore, the neural cells obtained using the above-described method for inducing differentiation were revealed to have neural regeneration potency in a brain infarction model, a dementia model, a spinal cord injury model and a demyelination model.11-12-2009
20080286246Internally administered therapeutic agents for cranial nerve diseases comprising mesenchymal cells as an active ingredient - Intravenous administration of bone marrow cells collected from rat bone marrow or peripheral blood to a rat cerebral infarction model was found to be effective in treating cerebral infarction. Human and murine bone marrow stem cells showed similar effects. Mesenchymal cells such as bone marrow cells, cord blood cells, or peripheral blood cells can be used as agents for in vivo administration against cranial nerve diseases.11-20-2008
