BONE MARROW-DERIVED MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS AS A SOURCE OF NEURAL PROGENITORS

摘要

Methods are provided for treating and/or reducing the severity of multiple sclerosis in a human, by administering autologous mesenchymal stem cell-derived neural precursors. Also described is an in vitro method for differentiating mesenchymal stem-cell derived neural precursor oligodendroglial and neuronal cell types.
