Abstract
A stem cell is a pluripotent cell, a cell that develop into other types of cells. These results suggest that stem cells may be employed to regenerate neurons and repair damaged ones. Several animal studies have shown that stem cell treatment can reduce autistic-like behaviour. One study indicated that stem cell treatment helped autistic rodents engage in less repetitive activity and have more positive social interactions. The outcomes of the first human clinical studies were likewise promising. One study found that teenagers on the autism spectrum were able to communicate better after receiving stem cell treatment. It’s important to remember, though, that studies of stem cell treatment for ASD are just getting started. More studies on the efficacy and safety of stem cell treatment in people are needed. Ethical considerations must also be considered before stem cell treatment is extensively employed to treat ASD.
