Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative condition. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease that causes the loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord that regulate voluntary movements including walking, talking and breathing.
Lately, many studies have shown the positive effects of stem cells in the treatment of ALS. Many studies have found stem cell intrathecal injections to be safe and effective. Stem cell therapy is acknowledged as one of the most remarkable and latest treatments for MND. Various pathogenic pathways could be aimed with this therapy to slow disease progression. Stem cell therapy can provide immunomodulatory support, potentially allowing for motor neuron regeneration. Many preclinical models have supported the use of stem cell therapy to control the progression of ALS.
