Injection of adult neurospheres induces recovery in a chronic model of multiple sclerosis

S Pluchino, A Quattrini, E Brambilla, A Gritti, G Salani… - Nature, 2003 - nature.com
Widespread demyelination and axonal loss are the pathological hallmarks of multiple sclerosis.
The multifocal nature of this chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system …

Applying extracellular vesicles based therapeutics in clinical trials–an ISEV position paper

…, S Pedersen, G Pocsfalvi, S Pluchino… - Journal of …, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes and microvesicles, are released by different
cell types and participate in physiological and pathophysiological processes. EVs mediate …

[HTML][HTML] Vesiclepedia: a compendium for extracellular vesicles with continuous community annotation

…, A Pandey, T Patel, MG Piper, S Pluchino… - PLoS …, 2012 - journals.plos.org
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membraneous vesicles released by a variety of cells into
their microenvironment. Recent studies have elucidated the role of EVs in intercellular …

Microglia activated by IL-4 or IFN-γ differentially induce neurogenesis and oligodendrogenesis from adult stem/progenitor cells

…, A Schwartz, G Landa, AE Talpalar, S Pluchino… - Molecular and Cellular …, 2006 - Elsevier
Cell renewal in the adult central nervous system (CNS) is limited, and is blocked in inflammatory
brain conditions. We show that both neurogenesis and oligodendrogenesis of adult …

The therapeutic potential of neural stem cells

G Martino, S Pluchino - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2006 - nature.com
Recent evidence shows that transplantation of neural stem/precursor cells may protect the
central nervous system from inflammatory damage through a 'bystander' mechanism that is …

Neurosphere-derived multipotent precursors promote neuroprotection by an immunomodulatory mechanism

S Pluchino, L Zanotti, B Rossi, E Brambilla, L Ottoboni… - Nature, 2005 - nature.com
In degenerative disorders of the central nervous system (CNS), transplantation of neural
multipotent (stem) precursor cells (NPCs) is aimed at replacing damaged neural cells 1 , 2 . …

[HTML][HTML] Infiltrating blood-derived macrophages are vital cells playing an anti-inflammatory role in recovery from spinal cord injury in mice

…, G Yovel, A Rolls, M Mack, S Pluchino… - PLoS …, 2009 - journals.plos.org
Background Although macrophages (MΦ) are known as essential players in wound healing,
their contribution to recovery from spinal cord injury (SCI) is a subject of debate. The …

Delayed post-ischaemic neuroprotection following systemic neural stem cell transplantation involves multiple mechanisms

M Bacigaluppi, S Pluchino, LP Jametti, E Kilic, Ü Kilic… - Brain, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Recent evidence suggests that neural stem/precursor cells (NPCs) promote recovery in
animal models with delayed neuronal death via a number of indirect bystander effects. A …

Synergy between immune cells and adult neural stem/progenitor cells promotes functional recovery from spinal cord injury

Y Ziv, H Avidan, S Pluchino… - Proceedings of the …, 2006 - National Acad Sciences
