Cell therapy perspectives in neurology

Abstract

In this review, we sought to highlight some of the latest advances in stem-cell research in neurology. In addition, we demonstrated the direct association between its functioning and replication mechanisms, differentiation and maturation, and also the cell therapy involved in some neurological diseases. We discussed the possible association between these undifferentiated cells and the source of some malignant tumors of the CNS, as well as the therapeutic potential of transplanting these cells in neurologic regenerative medicine. Finally, we conclude that the understanding and research on these mechanisms may lead the way to more direct and effective approaches of several currently incurable diseases of the nervous system.
