Abstract:
...Here, we report an AD patient at the terminal stage whose symptoms were improved by the intravenous administration of ex vivo-expanded bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). The case is a 61-year-old woman with severe Alzheimer's disease who had been admitted to the special nursing home. She could neither walk nor sit up independently. She also did neither smile nor gaze properly when talked to. Rigidity including neck motion was observed. She was on dysphagia diets. We cultured her bone-marrow-derived MSCs and intravenously administered 1,5 × 108 cells. After the treatment, smile loss, eye movement dysfunction, and neck immobility were improved. This is the first case report that showed the therapeutic effects of MSCs on terminal symptoms of AD.
