Stem Cell Related Patent Number US6787355
| Title: | Multipotent neural stem cells from peripheral tissues and uses thereof | | Inventors: | Miller, Freda D.; Montreal, Canada
Gloster, Andrew; Saskatoon, Canada
Toma, Jean; Montreal, Canada | | Summary: | Described herein are isolated precursor cells containing sensory receptors. The invention relates to multipotent neural stem cells, purified from the peripheral nervous system of mammals, capable of differentiating into neural and non-neural cell types. Claims of the invention describe the stem cells as providing an accessible source for autologous transplantation into CNS, PNS, and other damaged tissues. Therapeutic applications are included, such as in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, stroke and spinal cord injury. | | Abstract: | This invention relates to multipotent neural stem cells, purified from the peripheral nervous system of mammals, capable of differentiating into neural and non-neural cell types.
