Abstract

Stem cells (SCs) have been shown to be involved in repairing various tissue damages and maintaining appropriate functioning of tissues due to their unique characteristics of perpetual growth and multiplication, as well as their potential to differentiate into different cell types and even organs. Additionally, they are able to prevent natural or precipitated tissue degeneration and also help to regenerate the damaged tissues thereby impacting positively on neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Even though stem cell-based therapies may not cure MS, they may be able to slow, stop or even reverse the progressive course of the disease. Of high interest, most of these treatments are well-tolerated and have an acceptable safety profile, but more research is required to establish the therapeutic regimes and their effectiveness in various types of MS.
