This patent covers a method of treating a neurodegenerative condition through administration of neuronal stem cells into the cholinergic basal forebrain that have been transfected with nerve growth factor or a neurotropin.
This patent uses the natural ability of neural stem cells to migrate to the place where they are needed, in order to deliver the protein that is produced from the gene that they are transfected with.
