Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recent advance in regenerative medicine have demonstrated that greater therapeutic efficacy can be obtained by stem cell therapy via multiple mechanisms compared to the standard therapies for various diseases. Especially, it has been suggested that bone marrow stem cells may represent an alternative source of neural progenitor cells for organ regeneration. Among bone marrow stem cells, much attention has been paid to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs, also referred to as bone marrow stromal cells) because of their plasticity for differentiation into classical mesenchymal lineages, such as neuronal lineages. In this study, cell biological analyses were performed with MSCs from human and rat bone marrow using several molecular, biochemical and genetics approaches. Therapeutic efficacy with rat MSCs in vivo was also examined with rat stroke model.
