Other Neural Collaborations.
 
We have established a number of research collaborations to assess both the in vitro potential of the HuCNS-SC cells and the effects of transplanting HuCNS-SC cells into preclinical animal models, including a collaboration with researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine to evaluate our human neural stem cells in animal models

of stroke. The results of these studies demonstrate the targeted migration of the cells toward the stroke lesion and differentiation toward the neuronal lineage. Another study with researchers at Stanford’s School of Medicine demonstrated that HuCNS-SC cells labeled with magnetic nanoparticles could non-invasively track the survival and migration of human cells within the brain. In addition, we concluded an NIH-funded collaboration with Dr. George A. Carlson of the McLaughlin Research Institute to investigate the role of Alzheimer’s plaques in neuronal cell death in Alzheimer’s disease. Under the collaboration, Dr. Carson transplanted HuCNS-SC cells into mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease and the cells showed robust engraftment in an environment riddled with Alzheimer’s plaques.

Other Neural Collaborations.
 
We have established a number of research collaborations in the neural field to assess both the in vitro potential of the HuCNS-SC and the effects of transplanting HuCNS-SC into preclinical animal models, including a collaboration with researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine to evaluate our human neural stem cells in animal models of stroke. Collaborative studies regarding the formation of specific populations of neurons have also been done with researchers at The University of Texas Medical Branch and the University of California, San Diego. In addition, we concluded an NIH-funded collaboration with Dr. George A. Carlson of the McLaughlin Research Institute to understand the role of Alzheimer’s plaques in neuronal cell death in Alzheimer’s disease. Under the collaboration, Dr. Carson transplanted HuCNS-SC into mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease and the cells showed robust engraftment in an environment riddled with Alzheimer’s plaques. We plan to analyze the engrafted human cells in the brains of the transplanted mice.
