Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study,we evaluated therapeutic effect of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model mice. In comparison with human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) injection, DPSCs ameliorate clinical symptom including hind leg paralysis and immunological status (up-regulation of regulatory T cells and down-regulation of inflammatory Th 17 cells). However, the accumulation of injected cells into injured nerve system wasn't detected. Thus nerve regeneration mechanism still unclear.
