  • Patent number: 10400214
    Abstract: This application provides for enriched target populations oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) that can differentiate into oligodendrocytes. The target OPCs may be expanded and optionally subjected to conditions to induce their differentiation into oligodendrocytes. The target OPCs and their progeny are useful for the treatment of disease associated with demyelination of central nervous system axons.

  • Publication number: 20100028305
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for the treatment of lysosomal storage disorders characterized by a missing or defective secreted lysosomal enzyme. Such lysosomal storage disorders include, but are not limited to neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses. The disclosed methods involve the transplantation of human multipotent neural stem cells into the CNS of patients suffering from the lysosomal storage disorder. Also provided herein are methods of reversing or slowing the progression of neurodegeneration in patients suffering from or at risk of developing neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses.
