Mesenchymal stem cells rescue Purkinje cells and improve motor functions in a mouse model of cerebellar ataxia

Mesenchymal stem cells have been proven to be potentially effective in the treatment of a large variety of diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders. Of these, cerebellar ataxia is a group of disorders characterized by the degeneration of the cerebellum, particularly the Purkinje cells, respon...
