Emerging regenerative medicine for hemorrhagic stroke: An update on stem cell therapies

Abstract

Hemorrhagic stroke (HS) is a disastrous occurrence with high mortality rates, however, there are no established treatments for this pathology. Given recent advances in stem cell therapies, concerted research efforts have elucidated the therapeutic potential of stem cells in treating HS. In 2020, our group reviewed the use of SCs in regulating the neuroinflammatory reactions which occur after HS.¹ This review will build on that work, highlighting more recent advancements in the field of SC treatments for HS. Ultimately, with greater focus in this area of research, innovative SC therapies can be optimized in preclinical studies and soon be transferred to clinical applications for HS therapeutics.
