20090081171 | Cell system for alleviating syndromes of Parkinson's disease in a mammal - A cell system for treating neurodegenerative disorders in a mammal is provided. The cell system includes a population of neurons differentiated from umbilical mesenchymal stem cells for expressing at least one of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine-β-hydroxylase (DBH), glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) and dopaminergic transporter (DAT) in a cell culture. A method for treating neurodegenerative disorders in a mammal is also provided. The method comprises the steps of differentiating umbilical mesenchymal stem cells into a population of neurons that express at least one of TH, DBH, GAD, AADC and DAT in a cell culture, and transplanting the population of neurons into the brain of the mammal. | 03-26-2009 |
20090099595 | Method and mixture for treating unilateral vocal fold paralysis - The present invention provides methods and mixtures for treating unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) and/or enhancing functional recovery of a damaged recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). The method of the present invention comprises applying a fibrin glue mixture to a portion of laryngeal muscle. The fibrin glue mixture comprises a growth factor, fibrinogen, aprotinin and divalent calcium ion. | 04-16-2009 |
20090191165 | FIBRIN GLUE COMPOSITION FOR REPAIRING NERVE DAMAGE AND METHODS THEREOF - A fibrin glue composition is for repairing nerve damage, and/or enhancing the functional recovery of a damaged nerve which includes fibrin glue and an amount of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) effective for repairing the nerve damage and/or enhancing at least partially the functional recovery. A method is also for repairing nerve damage, and/or enhancing the functional recovery of a damaged nerve in a subject which includes topically applying to the damaged nerve the fibrin glue composition of the invention. | 07-30-2009 |
20090305988 | MODIFIED PEPTIDE OF HUMAN ACIDIC FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR - An modified peptide of human acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), comprising a native human aFGF shortened by a deletion of a deletion of 20 amino acids from N-terminal of the native human aFGF, and an addition of alanine (Ala) before the shortened native aFGF is provided. | 12-10-2009 |
20110039774 | METHOD FOR REPAIRING NEURODEGENERATION - The present invention provides for treating neurodegeneration caused by nerve compression syndrome or entrapment neuropathy comprising administering human acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), fibrinogen, aprotinin and divalent calcium ions to a subject in need thereof. | 02-17-2011 |
