Akio Iwanami,Shinjiro Kaneko,Masaya Nakamura,Yonehiro Kanemura,Hideki Mori,Satoshi Kobayashi,Mami Yamasaki,Suketaka Momoshima,Hajime Ishii,Kiyoshi Ando,Yoshikuni Tanioka,Norikazu Tamaoki,Tatsuji Nomura,Yoshiaki Toyama,Hideyuki Okano +14 more
TL;DR: Findings show that NSPC transplantation was effective for SCI in primates and suggest that human NSPCs transplantation could be a feasible treatment for human SCI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human neural stem/progenitor cells, expanded in long‐term neurosphere culture, promote functional recovery after focal ischemia in Mongolian gerbils
Satoru Ishibashi,Masanori Sakaguchi,Toshihiko Kuroiwa,Mami Yamasaki,Yonehiro Kanemura,Ichinose Shizuko,Takuya Shimazaki,Masafumi Onodera,Hideyuki Okano,Hidehiro Mizusawa +9 more
TL;DR: Human NSPCs, even from long‐term culture, remarkably improved neurologic functions after focal ischemia in the Mongolian gerbil, and maintained their abilities to migrate around the infarction, differentiate into mature neurons, and form synapses with host neuronal circuits.
Journal ArticleDOI
CRASH syndrome: mutations in L1CAM correlate with severity of the disease.
TL;DR: A comparison of existing case reports with molecular genetic analysis reveals a striking correlation between the type of mutation in the L1CAM gene and the severity of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of in vitro proliferative activity of human fetal neural stem/progenitor cells using indirect measurements of viable cells based on cellular metabolic activity.
Yonehiro Kanemura,Hideki Mori,Satoshi Kobayashi,Omedul Islam,Eri Kodama,Atsuyo Yamamoto,Youko Nakanishi,Norio Arita,Mami Yamasaki,Hideyuki Okano,Hideyuki Okano,Masayuki Hara,Masayuki Hara,Jun Miyake +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the number of viable cells and their proliferative activity in long-term culture using two methods that measure viable cell numbers indirectly, based on their metabolic activity was determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adhesion molecules and inherited diseases of the human nervous system
TL;DR: This review focuses on identifying common mechanisms by which mutations in adhesion molecules alter neural development, and identifies Po, L1, and merosin as multifunctional.
