Abstract
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 PrPSc accumulation, ameliorate astrocytosis, and prolong the survival time of ME7-infected mice.
期刊介绍：
Molecular Neurodegeneration, an open-access, peer-reviewed journal, comprehensively covers neurodegeneration research at the molecular and cellular levels.
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and prion diseases, fall under its purview. These disorders, often linked to advanced aging and characterized by varying degrees of dementia, pose a significant public health concern with the growing aging population. Recent strides in understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of these neurodegenerative disorders offer valuable insights into their pathogenesis.
