Summary Summary Short summary of a recent publication, written by scientific experts.
Individuals with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) who were treated with autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), either intravenously or intrathecally, had improvements in their Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores and had fewer relapses.
The study should be used as a foundation for future clinical trials and provides clinical evidence for the safety of administering MSC in people with progressive MS who previously had an unmet treatment need.
