  • Bone Marrow-Derived Cells Ameliorates The Pathological Consequences Of The Liver In Case Of Alpha1-Antitrypsin Deficiency
    Publication number: 20140377228
    Abstract: The present invention is based on the findings that bone marrow (BM)-derived progenitor cells more specifically mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and uncommitted hematopoietic cells (lin?) are capable of regenerating liver in case of injury. The invention provides a method for treating genetic disorder like Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency (A1-ATD) by administering BM derived Lin? cells in human mutant A1-AT expressing transgenic mouse model. The invention also provides the state of art for replacement of mutant host hepatocytes by transplanting wild-type uncommitted donor (lin?) cells.
