Lentiviral vectors have been used extensively as gene transfer tools for the central nervous
system throughout the past decade since they transduce most cell types in the brain …

Injuries to the adult mammalian spinal cord often lead to severe damage to both ascending
(sensory) pathways and descending (motor) nerve pathways without the perspective of …

The main rationale for cell‐based therapies following spinal cord injury are:(i) replacement
of degenerated spinal cord parenchyma by an axon growth supporting scaffold;(ii) …

In vitro expanded neural stem/progenitor cells can undergo region-specific differentiation
after transplantation to the developing or adult brain, and display morphologies and markers …

Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been an area of interest in biomedical
research and tissue engineering due to their diverse differentiation abilities. In osteogenesis …

Here we examined the ability of human neural progenitors from the embryonic forebrain,
expanded for up to a year in culture in the presence of growth factors, to respond to …

We have examined long-term growth-factor expanded human neural progenitors following
transplantation into the adult rat brain. Cells, obtained from the forebrain of a 9-week old …

Vectors derived from lentiviruses provide a promising gene delivery system. We examined
the in vivo gene transfer efficiency and tissue or cell tropism of a feline immunodeficiency …

Aims: To assess the feasibility of using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to transfect
astrocytes derived for transplantation and determine if transfection efficacy can be enhanced …

Current experimental gene therapy approaches for Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia
with Lewy bodies (DLB) include the use of viral vectors expressing antiapoptosis genes …
