Stem Cell Related Patent Number US6251669
| Title: | Neuronal progenitor cells and uses thereof | | Inventors: | Luskin, Marla B.; Decatur, GA, USA | | Summary: | This invention introduces compositions enriched in non-tumor neuronal progenitor cells with neuron-specific markers which are capable of differentiating into neuronal cells. Described herein is an isolated cellular composition comprising greater than approximately 90% mammalian, non tumor-derived, neuronal progenitor cells which express a neuron-specific marker and which can give rise to progeny that differentiate into neuronal cells. Therapeutic applications include transplantation in the treatment of neuronal disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases. | | Abstract: | The present invention provides an isolated cellular composition comprising greater than about 90% mammalian, non tumor-derived, neuronal progenitor cells which express a neuron-specific marker and which can give rise to progeny which can differentiate into neuronal cells. Also provided are methods of treating neuronal disorders utilizing this cellular composition. | | US Patent Website: | Click Here for Full Text of Patent | | Title Number: | US6251669 | | Application Number: | US1998000003006 | | Date Filed: | 05/01/1998 | | Date Published: | 26/06/2001 | | Assignee: | Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA |
