Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Stem cells have capacity of multipotential differentiation and self-renewal, which can stabilize internal environment under physical or pathophysical conditions. So stem cells have been considered as a useful tool in regenerative medicine.
OBJECTIVE: To overview the advancement of the stem cells therapies on nervous system diseases.
METHODS: A computer-based online search of PubMed databases was undertaken for the literature of stem cells therapies on nervous system diseases using the keywords of “stem cells, nervous system diseases, therapy”. Totally 298 articles were collected initially, and finally 54 articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Stem cells are currently considered promising candidates for therapies on nervous system injuries and neurodegenerative diseases. Stem cells transplantation can replace the damaged cells and reconstruct neural network, which can improve neural function.
