What are neural stem cells?
Neural stem cells (NSCs) are undifferentiated cells originating in the central nervous system. They are capable of differentiating into different kinds of cells in the nervous system when under defined conditions, and have the potential to give rise to offspring cells that grow and differentiate into neuronsand glial cells.
Due to the advantages of consistent propagation, neural stem cells have great potential for the study of neurogenesis and neurodegenerative diseases, and furthermore, for uses in clinical transplantation applications.
Neural stem cell treatment for Cerebral Palsy
Neural Stem cells extracted from a Fetus have the advantage of already being specialized naturally into neural cells and therefore there is no need to induce them into becoming neural cells by artificial means.
The neural stem cell center in Beijing General Hospital of PLA is the first and largest nerve stem cell center in the world. In clinical trial, after achieving the success in primate animals, General Hospital of People’s Liberation Army started to apply neural stem cells in treating Cerebral Palsy in children and other cerebral diseases such as cerebral thrombosis, cerebral trauma, spinal cord injury, etc in year 2003. The early treated cases have been ten years after stem cell treatment, and has satisfactory effects in their sensation, motor and linguistic functions, muscle strength and other aspects. Whether the treatment effects and number of treatment cases have reached world leading standard.
