Abstract:
Spinal cord injury is a serious central nervous system injury, with a high disability rate, many complications and poor prognosis. Although surgical treatment of spinal cord injury has made some progress in the past two decades, it still cannot fundamentally improve the clinical prognosis of patients with spinal cord injury. Stem cell therapy is regarded as one of the most promising treatments in regenerative medicine. Although some achievements have been made in stem cell therapy for spinal cord injury in recent years, such as stem cell transplantation and stimulation of differentiation of autologous potential stem cells, there are still many bottlenecks in its clinical transformation. The authors review the research status of stem cell therapy for spinal cord injury in recent years and prospect its future, hoping to provide references for the further studies.
