Peripheral nerve injury is a common clinical entity, which may arise due to traumatic,
tumorous, or even iatrogenic injury in craniomaxillofacial surgery. Despite advances in …

Detailed pathophysiological findings of secondary damage phenomena after spinal cord
injury (SCI) as well as the identification of inhibitory and neurotrophic proteins have yielded …

Neural progenitor cells, including neural stem cells, are a potential expandable source of
graft material for transplantation aimed at repairing the damaged CNS. Here we present the …

Hypoxic-ischemic injury is a prototype for insults characterized by extensive tissue loss.
Seeding neural stem cells (NSCs) onto a polymer scaffold that was subsequently implanted …

OBJECTIVE: Using the neural stem cell (NSC) clone C17. 2, we evaluated the ability of
transplanted murine NSCs to attenuate cognitive and neurological motor deficits after …

Brain damage around birth may cause lifelong neurodevelopmental deficits. We examined
the therapeutic potential of human umbilical cord blood–derived mononuclear cells …

Besides their capacity to give rise to neurons and/or glia, neural stem cells (NSCs) appear to
inherently secrete neurotrophic factors beneficial to injured neurons. To test this potential …

This study examined whether continuous intramedullary infusion of brain-derived
neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF), or neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) had either …

The study of the basic physiology of the neural precursors generated during brain
development is driven by two inextricably linked goals. First, such knowledge is instrumental …

Previously, we reported that, when clonal neural stem cells (NSCs) were transplanted into
brains of postnatal mice subjected to unilateral hypoxic–ischemic (HI) injury (optimally 3–7 …
