  • Intra-arterial transplantation of stem cells as strategy for treatment of ALS

    Posted by richardhasals on March 22, 2021 at 10:43 am

    Stem cell transplantation proved promising in animal models of neurological diseases; however, in conditions with disseminated pathology such as ALS, delivery of cells and their broad distribution is challenging. To address this problem, intra-arterial (IA) delivery route of stem cells was explored.

     

    Study demonstrated that Intra-arterial (IA) injection of stem cells is safe and, in the case of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), results in excellent cell accumulation in the brain making it an attractive route for delivery in neurodegenerative diseases like ALS. It represents an essential next step towards clinical use in ALS patients. .
