“…So far, mostly neural progenitor and embryonic stem cells have shown to act through direct neuronal replacement while other cells, such as stem cells from adipose tissue, hair, skin, bone marrow and amniotic fluid, seem to be beneficial for their regeneration supportive effect through the production of neurotrophic factors, extracellular matrix components, through growth cone guidance and remyelination [30,35,36,38,39,40,41,45]. Promising cells are also iPSCs that have shown the ability to differentiate into motoneurons in vitro [57,58,59] and to form functional connections with reinnervated muscle in vivo [26]. Embryonic fetal cells are safer compared to IPSCs because there is no danger of virus activation or cancer development due to induced pluripotency [60,61,62,63,64,65].…”
