VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Intrathecal administration of autologous mesenchymal stem cell-derived neural progenitors (MSC-NPs) was safe and well tolerated as a regenerative multiple sclerosis (MS) therapy, concluded a first-of-its-kind study presented at the 2016 annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).

Sadiq, MD, study investigator with the Tisch MS Research Center, New York. “The majority of patients with bladder dysfunction also noted improvement, both symptomatically and based on urodynamic testing.”
