Research Description:
My current interests include the ability of Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells from bone marrow to generate neurons in vitro and in vivo, and their behavior in a mouse model of stroke. Although neural differentiation of bone marrow-derived cells is highly controversial, preliminary evidence suggests that MAPCs have certain properties of embryonic stem cells, and may be capable of neural differentiation, though further work is needed to confirm this. In the injured brain, MAPCs migrate robustly toward areas of ischemia where they proliferate to replace the infarct area. The functional implications and mechanisms of this behavior are under investigation. Additional interests include the behavior of endogenous neural stem cells, and the potential to mobilize these for treatment of CNS injury or degeneration.
