Pubmed ID	19361871
Year	2009
Title	Brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene delivery in an animal model of multiple sclerosis using bone marrow stem cells as a vehicle

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Result	Inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma and enhanced expression of the antiinflammatory cytokines IL-4, IL-10, and IL-11 were found in the CNS tissues of the BDNF transplanted group.
Mechanism/pathway	BDNF is neuroprotective in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases.In addition, pathological examination showed that BDNF delivery reduced demyelination and increased remyelination
