Stem cells against myodystrophy

This is the first demonstration of the effectiveness of the treatment of muscular dystrophy with human stem cells. Earlier, the same group of scientists was the first to use mouse embryonic cells for the treatment of muscular dystrophy.

Stem cells in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (6)

The development of methods for the treatment of multiple sclerosis using stem cells goes in two main directions: the suppression of an autoimmune reaction that destroys the myelin sheaths of nerve fibers and the transplantation of myelin-producing nerve progenitor cells.

Stem cells in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (4)

For Parkinson's disease – the second most common neurodegenerative disease – there is only symptomatic treatment. A number of experiments have shown the ability of stem cells to significantly increase the number of preserved dopaminergic neurons.

Stem cells in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (3)

Existing drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease only allow you to stop the symptoms of the disease. The use of stem cells is one of the promising directions for the development of pathogenetic and etiotropic methods of treatment of this most common form of senile dementia.
