International Stem Cell Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Ruslan Semechkin is scheduled to present the company’s latest results from its Parkinson’s disease program at the American Neurological Association’s 2013 Annual Meeting October 13 – 15, 2013, in New Orleans.
Dr. Semechkin’s presentation will be conducted in collaboration with the Sanford Burnham Medical Research Institute, and detail new data and results from ISCO’s first primate study, which includes an outline of neural stem cells’ unique mechanism of action, data on the fate of the cells, and a detailed analysis of the primate’s immune response to the implantation.
The presentation will be at the following session:
Date: Monday, October 14, 2013
Time: 11:00 am – 7:00 pm
Title: The Use of Neural Stem Cells for the Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease in a Non-Human Primate Model
ISCO’s Parkinson’s disease program uses human parthenogenetic neural stem cells (hPNSC), a novel therapeutic cellular product derived from the company’s proprietary histocompatible human pluripotent stem cells.
hPNSC are self-renewing multipotent cells that are precursors for the major cells of the central nervous system. The cells have several characteristics that the company believes offer a new and revolutionary opportunity for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, especially in cases where current dopamine-replacement approaches fail to adequately control the symptoms. hPNSC are able to differentiate into dopaminergic neurons and are able to express neurotrophic factors such as glial derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) to protect the nigrostriatal system.
