The present invention relates to compositions and methods for obtaining a corticospinal upper motor neuron from a neural stem cell comprising the use of a CB1 cannabinoid receptor agonist, or the use of an inhibitor of an endocannabinoid-degrading enzyme, or the modification of a neural stem cell to decrease the expression of an endocannabinoid-degrading enzyme under basal levels or to increase the expression of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor above basal levels. The invention also relates to the corticospinal upper motor neurons obtained and uses thereof.
本发明涉及从神经干细胞获得皮质脊髓上运动神经元的组合物和方法,包括使用CB1大麻素受体激动剂,或使用内源性大麻素降解酶抑制剂,或修饰神经干细胞以降低内源性大麻素降解酶的表达至基础水平以下,或增加CB1大麻素受体的表达至基础水平以上。本发明还涉及所获得的皮质脊髓上运动神经元及其用途。
