We studied the efficiency of transplantation of neural stem/progenitor cells from human olfactory mucosa in chronic spinal cord injury. Neural stem/progenitor cells were obtained by a protocol modified by us and transplanted to rats with spinal post-traumatic cysts. It was shown that transplantation of neural stem/progenitor cells from human olfactory lining improved motor activity of hind limbs in the recipient rat with spinal post-traumatic cysts (according to BBB scale).

Chronic complete spinal cord injury (SCI) is difficult to treat because of scar formation and cavitary lesions. While human iPS cell-derived neural stem/progenitor cell (hNS/PC) therapy shows promise, its efficacy is limited without the structural support needed to address cavitary lesions. Our study investigated a combined approach involving surgical scar resection, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) hydrogel as a scaffold, and hNS/PC transplantation.

Adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN), the process of generating new neurons from adult neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs), is crucial for cognitive functions and is influenced by numerous factors, including metabolic processes. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), a key rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis, catalyzes the production of pyruvate, which undergoes either oxidative phosphorylation or anaerobic oxidation. We observed that PKM2 is highly expressed in NSPCs, but its significance remains unclear for AHN and cognition.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as an essential regulator of the cell fate commitment of neural stem/progenitor cells (NPCs), although the impacts of certain miRNAs on NPCs remain vague. The aim of this study is to investigate the regulatory effects of on the cell fate commitment of NPCs.

Methods: We investigated the impact of on the proliferation and differentiation capacities of primary NPCs by manipulating the expression of using specific mimics and inhibitors.

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic pathological conditions can lead to systemic inflammation, which plays a significant role in the development of neuroinflammatory diseases like Multiple Sclerosis (MS), characterized by damage to myelin and cognitive impairments.
  • The review emphasizes the importance of neural stem cells (NSCs) and neural progenitor cells (NPCs) in the regeneration process through mechanisms called adult neurogenesis (ANG) and gliogenesis, highlighting how these processes can help in recovery from MS.
  • Additionally, the text examines how MS alters the fate of NSCs and NPCs, discussing potential therapeutic interventions that could mitigate cognitive decline and disease progression in MS patients.

However, whether it is possible to stimulate neurogenesis and reconstruct cortical layers II to VI in non-neurogenic regions, such as the cortex, remains unknown.
