Brief Summary:
This study aims to determine the safety of HB-adMSC infusion and treatment effects of HB-adMSC infusion on brain structure, neurocognitive/functional outcomes, and neuroinflammation after subacute and chronic neurological injury in adults.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Traumatic Brain Injury Drug: HB-adMSCs Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:
This study aims to determine the safety of HB-adMSC infusion and treatment effects of HB-adMSC infusion on global gray and/or white matter, as well as structural integrity of GM and WM regions of interest in the corpus callous and corticospinal tracts as measured by fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) in specific regions known to correlate with specific neurocognitive deficits in patients after neurological injury.
