  • Methods and Kits for Enhancing Cell Survival, Stimulating Cell Proliferation, Treating Diabetic Patients, and/or Reinnervation
    Publication number: 20110064702
    Abstract: Methods for enhancing beta cell survival and/or for stimulating beta cell proliferation, comprise co-transplanting pancreatic islets, beta cells, and/or stem cells which can generate beta cells, with (i) neural crest stem cells (NCSCs), (ii) tetracycline-regulated gene expression system (Tet-System)-containing neural stem/progenitor cells (TetStock neural stem/progenitor cells), and/or (iii) pre-differentiated stem/progenitor neural cells. Methods for reinnervation in an organ or tissue transplant patient comprise co-transplanting with the organ or tissue (i) neural crest stem cells (NCSCs), (ii) tetracycline-regulated gene expression system (Tet-System)-containing neural stem/progenitor cells (TetStock neural stem/progenitor cells), and/or (iii) pre-differentiated stem/progenitor neural cells.
