| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cerebral infarction accounts for ~60% of the total stroke and the number of patients is increasing. Even with the current sophisticated treatments including thrombolysis and thrombectomy, more than half patients get disabled. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a new treatment to enhance recovery and restore the lost neurological functions.
Multilineage-differentiating stress-enduring (Muse) cells are endogenous nontumorigenic stem cells with pluripotency and minimum safety concerns. Muse cells recognize the injured site, home preferentially into the tissue and spontaneously differentiate into tissue-compatible cells to replace the lost cells, and repair the tissue, delivering functional and structural regeneration.
The purpose of this study is to develop Muse cell therapy for central nervous system disorders. If Muse cell treatment was successfully developed, the social and economic impact is unimaginable.
