Vescovi, Angelo L.; Milan, Italy | | Summary: | Described herein are methods of generating hematopoietic cells from multipotent neural stem cells (MNSC) and their progeny. The invention relates to a process by which the MNSC progeny are placed in a hematopoietic-inducing environment which can be either ex vivo or in vivo, such as a mammal's circulatory system which can induce xenogeneic, allogeneic, or autologous MNSC progeny to generate a full complement of hematopoietic cells. Therapeutic applications include the use of MNSC progeny as an alternative to bone marrow and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of blood-related disorders. | | Abstract: | Multipotent neural stem cell (MNSC) progeny are induced to generate cells of the hematopoietic system by placing the MNSC progeny in a hematopoietic-inducing environment. The hematopoietic-inducing environment can be either ex vivo or in vivo. A mammal's circulatory system provides an in vivo environment that can induce xenogeneic, allogeneic, or autologous MNSC progeny to generate a full complement of hematopoietic cells. Transplantation of MNSC progeny provides an alternative to bone marrow and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to treat blood-related disorders. | | US Patent Website: | Click Here for Full Text of Patent | | Title Number: | US6093531 | | Application Number: | US1998000100679 | | Date Filed: | 19/06/1998 | | Date Published: | 25/07/2000 | | Assignee: | NeuroSpheres Holdings Ltd., Calgary, Canada |
