Stem cells for the treatment of spinal cord injury

Coutts, Margaret, Keirstead, Hans S.·2008·Experimental Neurology

Abstract

This article reviews stem cell-based strategies for spinal cord injury repair, and practical issues concerning their translation to the clinic. Recent progress in the stem cell field includes clinically compliant culture conditions and directed differentiation of both embryonic stem cells and somatic stem cells. We provide a brief overview of the types of stem cells under evaluation, comparing their advantages and disadvantages for use in human clinical trials. We review the practical considerations and risks that must be addressed before human treatments can begin. With a growing understanding of these practical issues, stem cell biology, and spinal cord injury pathophysiology, stem cell-based therapies are moving closer to clinical application.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
