Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An isolated human cell and populations thereof is provided comprising at least one astrocytic phenotype and at least one mesenchymal stem cell phenotype, wherein the mesenchymal stem cell phenotype is not an astrocytic phenotype.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Parkinson's disease comprising administering to an individual in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of non-genetically modified GDNF-secreting cells which are ex vivo differentiated from human mesenchymal stem cells, wherein said GDNF-secreting cells express glutamate transporter 1 (GLT1), wherein said GDNF-secreting cells express CD90 and wherein a secretion of said GDNF is at least 5 times greater than a basal secretion of said GDNF in a non-differentiated, non-genetically modified human mesenchymal stem cell, thereby treating ALS or Parkinson's. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said cells which secrete GDNF are autologous to said individual. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said cells which secrete GDNF are non-autologous to said individual.
