Remarkable discoveries over the last two decades have elucidated the autoimmune basis of
several, previously poorly understood, neurological disorders. Autoimmune disorders of the …

The presence of antibodies to human T-cell lymphoma/leukemia virus Type I (HTLV-I) has
been associated with chronic progressive myelopathy. We attempted to isolate the virus from …

There is great interest in the therapeutic potential of non-hematopoietic stem cells obtained
from bone marrow called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Rare myogenic progenitor cells …

Embryonic stem (ES) cells have great therapeutic potential because of their capacity to
proliferate extensively and to form any fully differentiated cell of the body, including skeletal …

Cerebral toxoplasmosis is a frequent complication in immunosuppressed patients such as
AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). Frequently, lesions are located deep in the …

Stem cells have generated great interest for their potential therapeutic use because of their
capacity to self-renew indefinitely and to generate all cell lineages (pluripotency). Many …

The use of stem cells to repair and replace damaged skeletal muscle cells in chronic, debilitating
muscle diseases such as the muscular dystrophies holds great promise. Different stem …

We report the detailed clinical, electrophysiological and molecular analysis of a patient with
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease. DNA sequencing of the coding sequences of the …

Discussion PRES can occur due to many causes including acute severe hypertension, pre-eclampsia
and eclampsia, renal disease, immunosuppressive and cytotoxic drugs (such as …

Skeletal muscle regeneration by cell transplantation for the treatment of muscle diseases
requires the identification and isolation of well-defined, early skeletal muscle progenitor cells. It …
