Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cell Culture From Human Brain

Phase 1
Completed
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.
