The long-term survival and functional maturation of human iNPC-derived neurons in the basal forebrain of cynomolgus monkeys.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Human induced neural stem/progenitor cells (iNPCs) are a promising source of cells for stem cell-based therapy. The therapeutic potential of human iNPCs has been extensively tested in animal models, including both mouse and monkey models. However, the comprehensive characterization of grafted iNPCs in the brain of non-human primates has been lagged behind. In this study, we transplanted human iNPCs into the basal forebrain of adult cynomolgus monkeys. We found that grafted iNPCs predominantly differentiated into neurons that displayed long-term survival up to 12 months. Additionally, iNPC-derived human neurons gradually matured in term of morphology and subtype differentiation. More excitingly, we observed that human neurons displayed electrophysiological activities resembling those of mature neurons, indicating the acquisition of functional membrane properties. Collectively, this study systematically characterized human iNPCs in the brain of non-human primates, and will provide invaluable clues for developing safe and effective stem cell-based therapies for different brain disorders.
