Publication number: 20180080007Abstract: The present invention concerns the use of a population of cells comprising: (a) neural precursor cells committed to an oligodendroglial fate; (b) uncommitted neural precursor cells (c) differentiated oligodendrocytes; or (d) a combination of any one of (a) to (c) for the treatment of CNS autoimmune diseases, or for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for treating CNS autoimmune diseases, the population of cells being derived from human pluripotent stem cells. The invention also provides methods for obtaining such populations of cells, namely, neural precursor cells committed to an oligodendroglial fate as well as differentiated oligodendrocytes which then can be used in the treatment of CNS autoimmune diseases. A preferred autoimmune disease in the context of the present invention is multiple sclerosis where the population of cells is administered to the CNS for local treatment of the disease.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2017Publication date: March 22, 2018Inventors: Michal Aharonowiz, Ofira Einstein, Benjamin Reubinoff, Tamir Ben-Hur

Publication number: 20130330821Abstract: The present invention relates to undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells, methods of cultivation and propagation and production of differentiated cells. In particular it relates to the production of human ES cells capable of yielding somatic differentiated cells in vitro, as well as committed progenitor cells such as neural progenitor cells capable of giving rise to mature somatic cells including neural cells and/or glial cells and uses thereof. This invention provides methods that generate in vitro and in vivo models of controlled differentiation of ES cells towards the neural lineage. The model, and cells that are generated along the pathway of neural differentiation may be used for: the study of the cellular and molecular biology of human neural development, discovery of genes, growth factors, and differentiation factors that play a role in neural differentiation and regeneration, drug discovery and the development of screening assays for teratogenic, toxic and neuroprotective effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2013Publication date: December 12, 2013Applicant: ES CELL INTERNATIONAL PTE LTD.Inventors: BENJAMIN EITHAN REUBINOFF, MARTIN Federick PERA, TAMIR BEN-HUR

Publication number: 20130314669Abstract: A method of diagnosis is disclosed. The method comprises using a display device for presenting a motion perception test to a subject and determining a subject response to the motion perception test. The response can be used for assessing presence or absence of demyelination and/or remyelination.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2012Publication date: November 28, 2013Applicant: Hadasit Medical Research Services and Development Ltd.Inventors: Netta LEVIN, Noa Raz, Tamir Ben-Hur
