METHODS FOR PROMOTING STEM CELL PROLIFERATION AND SURVIVAL |
摘要 |
<p>Methods are disclosed herein for increasing the number of stem cells or precursor cells. The number of stem cells can be increased by increasing survival and/or cell proliferation of the cells. The methods include contacting the cells with an effective amount of a Notch ligand, an effective amount of a growth factor, and an effective amount of angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2). In several embodiments, the methods include contacting the cells with an effective amount of a Jak inhibitor. In several non-limiting examples, the growth factor is insulin or glial derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), or a combination thereof. In additional non-limiting examples, the Notch ligand is Delta. The cells can be in vivo orin vitro. Methods are also disclosed here for the treatment of a neurodegenerative disorder or spinal cord injury in a subject. In several non-limiting examples, the subject has Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease.</p> |
