Abstract

Rat umbilical cord matrix (RUCM) cells are stem-cell-like cells and have been shown to reduce neuronal loss in the selectively vulnerable brain regions after cardiac arrest (CA). Here, we investigate whether this protection is mediated by the RUCM cells' modulation of the postischemia inflammation responses, which have long been implicated as a secondary mechanism of injury following ischemia. Brain sections were examined immunohistochemically for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), vimentin, and nestin as markers for astroglia and reactive astrogliosis, Ricinus Communis Agglutinin-1 (RCA-1) as a marker for microglia, and Ki67 as a marker for cell proliferation. Rats were randomly assigned to six experimental groups: (1) 8-minute CA without treatment, (2) 8-minute CA pre-treated with culture medium injection, (3) 8-minute CA pre-treated with RUCM cells, (4) sham-operated CA, (5) medium injection without CA, and (6) RUCM cell transplantation without CA. Groups 1-3 have significantly higher Ki67(+) cell counts and higher GFAP(+) immunoreactivity in the hippocampal Cornu Ammonis layer 1 (CA1) region compared to groups 4-6, irrespective of treatment. Groups 1 and 2 have highly elevated GFAP(+), vimentin(+), and nestin(+) immuno...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Astrocytes & Neurodegeneration

Astrocytes are important for the health and function of the central nervous system. When these cells stop functioning properly, either through gain of function or loss of homeostatic controls, neurodegenerative diseases can occur. Here is the latest research on astrocytes and neurodegeneration.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.
