  • Title: Allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells transplantation in treatment of multiple sclerosis.
    Author: Liang J, Zhang H, Hua B, Wang H, Wang J, Han Z, Sun L.
    Journal: Mult Scler; 2009 May; 15(5):644-6. PubMed ID: 19389752.
    Abstract:
    Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system. Umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells are immunosuppressive. We transplanted mesenchymal stem cells in a patient with refractory progressive MS, and the disease course was stabilized after the transplantation. We postulate that mesenchymal stem cells have a potent immunosuppressive effect in vivo.
