Stem 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 کاملStem 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 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...
متن کاملPluripotent stem cells for disease modeling and drug screening: new perspectives for treatment of cystic fibrosis?
Despite continuous improvements in treating clinical symptoms and the identification of single compounds that effectively rescue some rare mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), associated lung and liver pathologies remain largely untreatable and no real breakthrough is visible for the majority of patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF).Novel compounds...
