Stem Cells: Neurodegenerative Disease Cure
Stem cells are cells that have not yet differentiated to perform a certain task. Scientists and engineers can manipulate them to differentiate into a certain cell. This is advantageous for the scientific community because scientists, engineers, and doctors can use stem cells for their own reasons. They can be used to cure diseases or for research. Stem cells are a great way to cure certain dise...
متن کاملP 141: Mesenchymal Stem Cells as Treatment in Neuroinflammatory Disease
Mesenchymal stem cells can be obtained from deferent tissues like adipose tissue, umbilical cord, placenta, skin, bone marrow, etc. These cells have regulatory effects on all types of immune cells such as dendritic cell, natural killers and lymphocytes. Mesenchymal stem cells induce inhibitory phenotypes of Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) following their activity. They also change T cells pheno...
متن کاملRoles of Stem Cells in the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
Introduction: Alzheimer disease (AD), known to be a leading cause of dementia that causes heavy social and financial burdens worldwide, characterized by progressive loss of neurons and synaptic connectivity after depositions of amyloid-β (Aβ) protein.AD manifests as an impaired ability to comprehend or use words, poor coordination and gait, and impaired executive functions in the realms of plan...
متن کاملStem Cells in Drug Screening for Neurodegenerative Disease
Because the average human life span has recently increased, the number of patients who are diagnosed with neurodegenerative diseases has escalated. Recent advances in stem cell research have given us access to unlimited numbers of multi-potent or pluripotent cells for screening for new drugs for neurodegenerative diseases. Neural stem cells (NSCs) are a good model with which to screen effective...
متن کاملMesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of neurodegenerative disease.
Mesenchymal stem cells/marrow stromal cells (MSCs) present a promising tool for cell therapy, and are currently being tested in US FDA-approved clinical trials for myocardial infarction, stroke, meniscus injury, limb ischemia, graft-versus-host disease and autoimmune disorders. They have been extensively tested and proven effective in preclinical studies for these and many other disorders. Ther...
