Described herein are mesenchymal stem cells and populations thereof, which can be used for treating neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) disease. Methods for treating neurodegenerative diseases, such as ALS, by administering mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) cells that have been induced to secrete at least one neurotrophic factor (NTF), wherein said cell population comprises MSC-NTF cells are described.

Compositions and methods of promoting wound healing in a human by administering to the human mesenchymal stem cells in an effective amount.

The present invention relates to a method for improving the migration ability of stem cells into cancer cells comprising educating the stem cells by treating the stem cells with an in vitro cell culture medium of cancer cells obtained from a cancer patient to be treated and optionally an anionic channel activator.

The invention relates to methods for osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow stem cells (BMSC) or mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), in particular using human plasma or serum and FGF and TGFB growth factors. The invention also provides the so-obtained cells and cell populations, as well as further products comprising such and uses thereof in bone therapy.

A method of repairing nerve tissue is provided. A method of inducing neurite outgrowth in neurons also is provided.

Compositions and methods of promoting wound healing in a human by administering to the human mesenchymal stem cells in an effective amount.

The present invention is directed to therapeutic multifunctional immature dental pulp stem cells (IDPSCs), and IDPSCs multi-lineage compositions. The invention is further directed to the use of IDPSCs and compositions to reduce the risk of and/or treat degenerative diseases or for other medicinal and aesthetic purposes.

[Problem] The present invention addresses the problem of providing a method for efficiently preparing dental pulp stem cells from dental pulp cells collected from dental pulp tissue.

[Solution Means] The method for preparing dental pulp stem cells from dental pulp cells collected from dental pulp tissue according to the present invention includes: (a) a step for preculturing dental pulp cells using a culture medium that includes serum at 7-13% (v/v), the dental pulp cells being bonded to a culture dish; (b) a step for culturing the dental pulp cells bonded to the culture dish by step (a) at least for one day using a culture medium that includes serum at 7-13% (v/v); and (c) a step for culturing the dental pulp cells in a low-serum condition after step (b).
