Abstract:Cell transplantation can relieve the symptoms of or even reverse neurodegenerative diseases and repair nerve injuries. Fibroblast growth factor 1 promotes neuronal survival and stimulates axonal growth. A combination of fibroblast growth factor 1 and cell-based therapy is promising for nerve repair. Developers of future cell-based treatment should consider several key concerns: (1) the source of cells should be autologous, (2) consistent methods and protocols for cell isolation should be used, (3) the treatmen… Show more
