Abstract:
Spinal cord injury is a traumatic disorder resulting in a functional deficit that usually leads to severe and permanent paralysis.Now several strategies including pharmacological and rehabilitation therapies are not effective treatments for spinal cord injury.Recently stem cell transplantion caused extensive concerns from scholars because of its feasibility in theories and definite effectiveness in experiments.Stem cell types used in spinal cord injury therapy include embryonic stem cells,neural stem cells,mesenchymal stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells.We extensively review the related articles in recent years,discusse and analyze current situations and perspectives of different stem cells transplantion for treating spinal cord injury.
