Therapeutic Stem Cells and Their Utilization in Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trials: A Mini Review

Abstract

: In the last two decades, stem cell therapy has been developed rapidly. Stem cells have now emerged as a new treatment for many major disorders including neurodegenerative diseases such multiple sclerosis (MS). Recently, the attention of researchers working on MS have been attracted to cell therapy using therapeutic stem cells (TSCs). In this brief narrative review we explore the application of TSCs in last 5 years registered clinical trials. At the end, we will discuss the challenges and hopes ahead of therapeutic stem cells in treating MS patients.
