Philosophy:
I am fundamentally committed to practicing medicine and neurosurgery with the sole focus on what is best for the patient. Economics and bureaucracy should not prevent patients from receiving the best care available. When the restoration of optimal state of health is our only concern, we know optimal outcomes are achieved and we have done our job.

Generation Of Dopaminergic Neurons From Human Nervous System Stem Cells
US Patent:
6395546, May 28, 2002
Filed:
Feb 1, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/490569
Inventors:
Rita Zobel - Tartu, EE
Michel F. Levesque - Beverly Hills CA
Michel F. Levesque - Beverly Hills CA
Assignee:
NeuroGeneration, Inc. - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
C12N 508
US Classification:
435377, 435368
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for generating dopaminergic neurons in vitro from embryonic and adult central nervous system cells. Specifically, these cells are isolated, cultured in vitro and stimulated to differentiate into dopaminergic neurons by down-regulating COUP-TFI and/or COUP-TFII expression or increasing NOT1 expression. These newly generated dopaminergic neurons may serve as an excellent source for cell replacement therapy in neurological disorders in which the dopaminergic system is compromised.
Conversion Of Non-Neuronal Cells Into Neurons: Transdifferentiation Of Epidermal Cells
US Patent:
6087168, Jul 11, 2000
Filed:
Jan 20, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/234332
Inventors:
Michel F. Levesque - Beverly Hills CA
Toomas Neuman - Santa Monica CA
Toomas Neuman - Santa Monica CA
Assignee:
Cedars Sinai Medical Center - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
C12N 1510, C12N 1509, C12N 1511
US Classification:
435345
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to method of converting, or transdifferentiating the epidermal cells into viable neurons useful in both cell therapy and gene therapy treatment methodologies. The method of transdifferentiating epidermal cells into neuronal cells comprises the following steps: obtaining skin cells from a patient; dedifferentiating these cells with an appropriate medium, neurotrophin or cytokine; transfecting the skin cells with one or more expression vector(s) encoding at least one neurogenic transcription factor or active fragments thereof; expressing at least one of the neurogenic transcription factors; growing the transfected cells in an appropriate medium; and adding to the medium one or more antisense oligonucleotide(s) corresponding to at least one negative regulator of neuronal differentiation, whereby the epidermal cells are transdifferentiated into neuronal cells.

Abstract:
Disclosed is an in vitro method of transdifferentiating an epidermal basal cell into a cell having one or more morphological, physiological and/or immunological features of a glial cell. Also disclosed are such transdifferentiated cells and cell cultures derived from them. A kit for converting, in vitro, epidermal basal cells into cells having one or more morphological, physiological and/or immunological features of a glial cell is also disclosed.
