Pediatric neurological disorders including muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury are defined as a heterogenous group of diseases, of which some are known to be genetic. The two significant features represented for stem cells, leading to distinguish them from other cell types are addressed as below: they can renew themselves besides the ability to differentiate into cells wi...
متن کاملNeural stem cell therapy for neuropsychiatric disorders.
OBJECTIVE To conduct a comprehensive literature review of the area of neural stem cells and neuropsychiatry. METHODS 'Neural stem cells' (NSCs) and 'neurogenesis' were used as keywords in Medline (1966 - November 2006) to identify relevant papers in the areas of Alzheimer's disease (AD), depression, schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease (PD). This list was supplemented with papers from refere...
متن کاملStem cell therapy for neurological diSorderS
Stem cells have long been in focus as potential therapy or even cure for a whole myriad of diseases. Many neurodegenerative disorders, both acute and chronic, are characterized by irreversible neuronal damage and loss, and only a few efficient treatment options exist. In contrast to many other tissues, the potential of selfregeneration of the central nervous system is highly limited. There is h...
