Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cell Culture From Human Brain
- Conditions
- Demyelinating Diseases
- Interventions
- Procedure: Oligodendrocyte progenitor cell culture/craniotomy
- Registration Number
- NCT00283023
- Lead Sponsor
- Rajavithi Hospital
- Brief Summary
Recent developments in the understanding of stem- and progenitor cell differentiation raises hopes that brain damage in chronic neurological diseases may become repaired by systemic or focal transplantation of such cells. Clinical trials of stem- or progenitor cell transplantation in multiple sclerosis are currently premature. The researchers developed a protocol for human oligodendrocyte progenitor cell culture from human brain for the treatment of demyelinating disease.
- Detailed Description
Oligodendrocyte progenitor cell line were cultures and will be transplanted into the patient with Multiple sclerosis.
