Stem Cell Therapy For Glioblastoma

Abstract

Glioblastoma is a devastating grade IV cancer that affects the central nervous system and the spinal cord primarily in older adults but can also affect youth. The progression of the disease causes symptoms such as headaches and epilepsy. With such a severe and devasting prognosis and little ability to extend or cure the disease, researchers have been trying to find the best treatments to help patients suffering from Glioblastoma. Although the goal of Glioblastoma is not only to treat the disease but to cure it, current animal in vivo studies have shown promising therapeutic effects in mesenchymal stem cells, induced neural stem cells
