COMPOSITION PERMETTANT DE FAVORISER LA DIFFERENCIATION DE CELLULES SOUCHES NEURALES ET DE LES PROTEGER ET PROCEDE PERMETTANT D'INDUIRE UNE REGENERATION NEURALE UTILISANT CELLE-CI
The present invention relates to a method for inducing neural regeneration comprising administering an MEK 1/2 inhibitor to a patient in need thereof. In particular, according to the method of the present invention, the MEK 1/2 inhibitor induces neural regeneration by differentiating neural stem cells into neural cells, protecting neural cells and neural stem cells from beta amyloid-induced cytotoxicity, or both. The present invention also relates to a method for protecting neural cells from loss or damage of neural cells comprising administering an MEK 1/2 inhibitor. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for preventing or treating neurodegenerative diseases caused by a loss or damage of neural cells, comprising administering the MEK 1/2 inhibitor to a patient in need thereof.
