O27: The Role of Hydrogels and Cell Based Therapies in Regeneration of Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the devastating conditions leading to functional and neurological deficits following road traffic accidents. To date, there is no definite treatment for repairing damaged spinal cord tissue. In this regard, cell therapy opens a new window in front of scientists by using different cells such as mesenchymal stem cells, olfactory ensheathing cells, Schwann cells,...
متن کاملCurrent trends in spinal cord injury repair.
One of the rapidly prevailing neurological disorders affecting thousands of people per year is spinal cord injury (SCI). Though, great research has been made in recent past to understand thoroughly the molecular bases of the diseases, no fully restorative treatments for SCI are available. However, various rehabilitative, cellular and molecular therapies are being tested in animal models. Some o...
متن کاملHydrogels and Cell Based Therapies in Spinal Cord Injury Regeneration
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a central nervous system- (CNS-) related disorder for which there is yet no successful treatment. Within the past several years, cell-based therapies have been explored for SCI repair, including the use of pluripotent human stem cells, and a number of adult-derived stem and mature cells such as mesenchymal stem cells, olfactory ensheathing cells, and Schwann cells. A...
متن کاملRepair of chronic spinal cord injury.
Advances in medical and rehabilitative care now allow the 10-12,000 individuals who suffer spinal cord injuries each year in the United States to lead productive lives of nearly normal life expectancy, so that the numbers of those with chronic injuries will approximate 300,000 at the end of the next decade. This signals an urgent need for new treatments that will improve repair and recovery aft...
