  • Prevention of deficits in neurogenesis with anti-inflammatory agents
    Patent number: 7998460
    Abstract: Methods are provided for protecting an individual from adverse long-term effects of neuroinflammation. Inflammatory blockade maintains neurogenesis capability after cranial irradiation by reducing the negative effects of activated microglia on neural precursor cells. These findings have broad implications for a variety of diseases of cognition, involving neuroinflammation and precursor cell dysfunction.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 21, 2006
    Date of Patent: August 16, 2011
    Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University
    Inventors: Michelle L. Monje, Theo D. Palmer

  • Postmortem stem cells
    Publication number: 20020098584
    Abstract: Disclosed are optimized methodologies for isolating and propagating stem cells from biopsies and postmortem tissues. Specifically disclosed are methods of culturing neural stem cells in the presence of a cocktail of trophic factors/co-factors for enhanced propagation.

  • Retroviral gene transfer into diploid fibroblasts for gene therapy
    Patent number: 5219740
    Abstract: A process of mammalian gene therapy. Explanted fibroblasts are genetically modified by introducing a retroviral construct containing a nucleotide sequence encoding for a therapeutic substance. The genetically modified fibroblasts are implanted into a mammalian subject.
    Type: Grant
