| Research Abstract |
The present study was designed to test the neurotrophic and neuralizing activities of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) derived from adult mice. Treatment with conditioned media derived from BMSC cultures significantly prevented the death of dopamine (DA) neurons in in vitro. BMSC also facilitated an efficient induction of DA neurons from ES cells. The present study indicates that BMSC may have the neurotrophic and neuralizing activities, and raises the possibility that they can be applied in regenerative cell therapy in Parkinson's disease.
