Recent trials of low intensity HSCT indicate that as researchers improve the conditioning protocol, they can significantlyreduce the adverse side effects without decreasing efficacy. Similarly, a recent clinical trial evaluating MSCT concluded it was a feasible and safe treatment method for MS patients. Given MSCT{u2019}s positive potential on neural restoration and immunomodulation demonstrated in animal models, MSCT offers a low risk/high reward treatment option for MS patients. Additionally, HSCT and MSCT could work synergistically to further decrease adverse side effects and increase patient outcomes UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
