METHOD FOR TREATING AND PREVENTING RADIATION DAMAGE USING GENETICALLY MODIFIED MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS

摘要

A method of treating or preventing radiation damage by administering to a patient in need of treatment at least one therapeutically effective amount of a mesenchymal stem cell genetically altered to secrete extracellular superoxide dismutase is provided. Also provided is a therapeutic for treating and/or preventing radiation related or damage by similar agents, the therapeutic contains genetically modified mesenchymal stem cells capable of secreting extracellular superoxide dismutase.
