摘要:

神经退行性疾病造成大脑不可逆的损伤,影响着全世界越来越多的人。应用神经元干细胞治疗神经退行性疾病的前景很乐观,但在此之前需要更好地了解神经发生的过程。目前,各种方法已被用于控制神经元再生,但其在临床试验中应用效果不佳。因此,未来的治疗方向在于使用干细胞复合药理学试剂,如ROCK抑制剂和生长因子来改善神经退化。

Abstract:

Neurodegenerative disorders cause irreversible damage to the brain and affect an increasing number of people worldwide. Although promising, the use of neuronal stem cells requires a better understanding of the process of neurogenesis. Various approaches have been used to control neurogenesis; however, all of these platforms presented major pitfalls. Therefore, an interesting future approach is to leverage the use of stem cell treatment and pharmacological agents such as ROCK inhibitors and growth factors to ameliorate neural deterioration.
