Dendritic cell implantation leads to repair of injured adult spinal cords
Published in Blood Weekly, July 15th, 2004
According to recent research from Japan, "We report a treatment for spinal cord injury involving implantation of dendritic cells (DCs), which act as antigen-presenting cells in the immune system. The novel mechanisms underlying this treatment produce functional recovery."
"Among the immune cells tested," reported Y. Mikami and coworkers, "DCs showed the strongest activity inducing proliferation and survival of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) in vitro. Furthermore, in DC-implanted adult mice, endogenous NSPCs in the injured spinal cord were activated for mitotic de...
