Neurological Degeneration
Stem Cells For Neurological Degeneration
Regenerative therapy and transplantation therapy with stem cells shows promise for those suffering from neurological disease(s). Until now, most of these impairments were regarded as irreversible and doctors would try their best to manage each patients’ symptoms. Stem Cell therapy shows promise for those suffering from neuro-degeneration.
The Root of Neurological Degeneration
The central nervous system is responsible for many functions and is the root of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia and Parkinson’s Disease. These conditions usually lead to irreversible damage of nervous tissue, which often leads to serious cognitive or physical loss.
Until now it has been widely regarded that the brain has a limited ability to heal itself after injury. Scientists believe that this was due to the inability of the brain to make new cells. However, recently researchers have discovered that certain areas of the brain are producing new cells, even in adults.
Neurological Degeneration
Neurological degeneration encompasses a wide variety of disorders that affect millions of Americans and their families each year. Some of the more commonly known are:
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Stroke
- Spinal Cord Injuries
