Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and materials for influencing proliferation of stem cells. Specifically exemplified herein are compositions comprising cerium oxide nanoparticles which can be used to stimulate proliferation of stem cells under common culture conditions, or which can be utilized to improve therapeutic outcomes.
Claims19
A method of influencing proliferation of stem cells in a body comprising
- administering stem cells to a body;
- and
- administering a composition comprising cerium oxide to said body, wherein said stem cells and said composition are placed in said body such that said migration influencing factor is brought into contact with at least one of said stem cells.
The method of claim 2, wherein said composition is an admixture of cerium oxide and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
A method of stimulation proliferation of a population of stem cells comprising contacting said population with cerium oxide nanoparticles, wherein said contacting occurs in vitro, in vivo, in situ and/or ex vivo.
A method of treating or preventing a neurological or corporal deficit comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of cerium oxide nanoparticles.
