Abstract

Several animal studies and few pilot clinical trials have tested the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and in multiple sclerosis (MS). In almost all of the preclinical studies, healthy animals (or humans) served as donors of the MSCs. This setting does not accurately simulate the clinical situation of autologous transplantation in patients with MS. In the current research we used MSC isolated from mice with EAE in order to mimic human autologous transplantation and to test if the inflammatory process affects the functional properties of MSC.
