A promising alternative involves iPS-derived MSCs, which have shown potential to boost neural regeneration through BDNF, GABA, and GABA receptor signaling pathways of astrocytes.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>In summary, SCI disrupts astrocyte populations, impacting their ability to support neural repair. BDNF-regulated GABA signaling in astrocytes is essential for neuron regeneration. Both hUC-MSCs and iPS-derived MSCs show promise in enhancing neural recovery by activating these pathways, offering potential new therapeutic options for SCI.</p>","PeriodicalId":21976,"journal":{"name":"Spinal cord","volume":"63 5","pages":"263-269"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144062225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
