Cell based therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
29 Nov 2009 
Mutations in the dystrophin gene cause an X-linked genetic disorder: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Stem cell therapy is an attractive method to treat DMD because a small number of cells are required to obtain a therapeutic effect. Here, we ... Read more...
Viability and differentiation of neural precursors on hyaluronic acid hydrogel scaffold.
30 Oct 2009 The traditional notion that injured neurons are unable to regenerate in the adult mammalian brain and spinal cord has long been a concern. This view has led to methodology designed to overcome this problem, most recently by advancements in tissue ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 Transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) has shown promise for improving functional recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). The inhospitable milieu of injured spinal cord, however, does not support survival of grafted NSCs, reducing therapeutic ... Read more...
