Combination of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Enhances Neurological Recovery of 6-Hydroxydopamine Model of Parkinsonian ’s Disease
Conclusion:Our findings demonstrate that rTMS treatment and hMSC transplantation could synergistically create a favorable microenvironment for cell survival within the PD rat brain, through alteration of soluble factors such as neurotrophic/growth factors and anti-/pro-inflammatory cytokines related to neuronal protection or repair, with preservation of DA neurons and improvement of motor functions.
