  • Patent number: 11679104
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for enhanced engraftment of hematopoietic cells into the brain, and to therapeutic methods of treating central nervous system (CNS) diseases and disorders in subjects where replacing CNS pot macrophages (including microglia) and other tissue-resident macrophages with donor cells would be beneficial. In particular, the present disclosure relates to the use of a microglia depleting agent to enhance engraftment of hematopoietic-derived macrophages in the brain of a subject undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation, to treat a subject suffering from a leukodystrophy and undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation, to treat a subject suffering from a disease mediated by microglial dysfunction and undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation, and to related methods. The present disclosure also relates to detection within cell populations of beMc? and microglia signatures.

  • Publication number: 20100129329
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods repairing, regenerating, and reconstituting tissues by transplanting at least two stem cell populations, wherein the first and the second population of stem cells are introduced into a subject separated by a time interval of about 2 to about 24 hours. The first population comprises stem cells derived from umbilical cord. The second population comprises ALDHbr cells. These ALDHbr cells can be administered to a patient immediately after isolation or can be primed in culture using a combination of cytokines for about 2 to about 7 days prior to transplantation. The methods of the invention are useful in accelerating time to neutrophil and/or platelet engraftment and immune reconstitution following myeloablative therapy.
