Mesenchymal stem cells rescue the Alzheimer’s disease cell model from cell death induced by misfolded truncated tau

We have developed a stably transfected human cell model for Alzheimer's disease with doxycycline-inducible expression of human misfolded truncated tau protein (AT tau). We have showed that AT tau reduced…

The therapeutic potential of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells in Alzheimer’s disease

The neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) include the presence of extracellular amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) in the form of amyloid plaques in the brain parenchyma and neuronal loss. The mechanism…

Repeated peripheral administration of adult mesenchymal stem cells has a positive impact on Abeta amyloid pathology in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder pathologically characterized by extracellular senile plaques, primarily composed of polymerized amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptides. There is currently no cure for this disease that represents…
