Erfolg bei Parkinson durch hESC bei Ratten Angeblich steht Publikation kurz vor der Verüffentlichung Okarma ist der CEO von Geron Okarma said a test with a rat model of Parkinson`s desease is to be published. The following is my understanding of the test: One half of the rat`s brain was injected with a substance that simulates Parkinson`s disease. Because one symptom of Parkinson`s is poor motor control, the result of only half the brain having this disease is to cause the rat to move in circles when he tries to walk straight. hESC derived dopenigenic neurons were injected in the effected half, and the cells not only engrafted, but "sprouted roots", which is necessary for the cells to have the proper inputs to know how much dopamine to release to provide proper motor function. After a few weeks, the rats given the hESC treatment began walking straight again. |
