USING AUTOLOGOUS MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS TO TREAT MULTIPLE SYSTEM ATROPHY

摘要

This document provides methods and materials for treating multiple system atrophy in a mammal. Specifically, the methods comprising intrathecally administering to the mammal a composition comprising autologous mesenchymal stem cells (e.g., adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells) to treat multiple system atrophy. Further disclosed is the composition comprising from about 5 x 10(6) to about 5 x 10(8) autologous mesenchymal stom cells.
