Treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with a bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicles - A case report

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a terminal neurodegenerative disease with only a few minimally effective treatment options. This study treats a patient with Spinal ALS with Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Extracellular Vesicles (BM-MSCEVs) to slow or stop the progress of the disease. After 2 months and 4 treatments, the patient demonstrated improvement in ALS functional scores and most physical exam findings. BM-MSCEVs demonstrate the ability to effectively treat Spinal ALS in this study and open the door for future studies.
