Regenerative Therapy for Retinal Disorders
Major advances in various disciplines of basic sciences including embryology, molecular and cell biology, genetics, and nanotechnology, as well as stem cell biology have opened new horizons for regenerative therapy. The unique characteristics of stem cells prompt a sound understanding for their use in modern regenerative therapies. This review article discusses stem cells, developmental stages ...
متن کاملCell-Based Regenerative Therapy for Liver Disease
The liver can regenerate itself in response to acute liver damage. However, chronically induced liver dysfunction interferes with the liver regeneration process and increases the risk of onset of more severe hepatic failure, including hepatic cirrhosis and liver cancer. To develop more effi cient therapeutics for chronic liver diseases, cell-based regenerative therapies using functional hepatoc...
متن کاملRegenerative Cell Therapy for Corneal Endothelium.
Endothelial cell dysfunction as in Fuchs dystrophy or pseudophakic bullous keratopathy, and the limited regenerative capacity of human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs), drive the need for corneal transplant. In response to limited donor corneal availability, significant effort has been directed towards cell therapy as an alternative to surgery. Stimulation of endogenous progenitors, or transpl...
متن کاملStem Cell Therapy in Pediatric Neurological Disorders
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 کاملUpdate on genetic disorders affecting white matter.
The classification of diseases affecting white matter has changed dramatically with the use of magnetic resonance imaging. Classical leukodystrophies, such as metachromatic leukodystrophy and Krabbe's disease, account for only a small number of inherited diseases that affect white matter. Magnetic resonance imaging has clarified genetic disorders that result in white matter changes or leukoence...
