MSC-NPs are seen as a possible way of treating people with progressive MS, who have few effective disease-modifying treatments available. They are essentially stem cells collected from a patient’s bone marrow that are expanded and matured to produce factors involved in modulating the immune response and in nervous tissue growth and survival.
An open-label Phase 1 trial (NCT01933802) investigated this stem cell treatment in 20 adults with stable primary (four PPMS patients) or secondary progressive MS (16 SPMS patients) and significant disability.
All received a total of three injections of MSC-NPs, given directly into the spinal canal three months apart. They were then evaluated at three and six months, and again at two years, after the final treatment to determine its long-term safety and tolerability, and for signs of potential effectiveness.

After he learns to appreciate his family, it s up to Kevin to defend his home . namely, by setting up a series of e

In his first speech as president-elect, Joe Biden delivered a powerful message of unity and healing. Like millions of Americans, I was moved by his words. But as my eyes welled up with tears, millions of other Americans rolled their eyes.Â
It was a powerful personal reminder just how divided we are.Â
As a psychiatrist, I have witnessed firsthand the emotional toll this division takes on peopleâs lives, especially their relationships.Â
One patient blocked a childhood friend on social media because he voted for Trump. Another cut ties with a Bernie-supporting uncle during the primaries. Almost half of Americans have stopped talking politics with others.
