Abstract (original English)

There is currently no effective therapy for prion diseases. The glymphatic system is an organized system of perivascular spaces that facilitates the removal of metabolic waste from the brain. This study demonstrates the therapeutic potential of a combination therapy of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs) and a glymphatic system-activated drug, clonidine, against prion disease. The therapy has the potential to clear PrP Sc accumulation, ameliorate astrocytosis, and prolong the survival time of ME7-infected mice.

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • • This is preclinical work; animal or laboratory results cannot be applied to humans.

Evidence level
