Investigating the Potential of Stem Cell Therapy in Treating Neurodegenerative Diseases

Pragya Lamba

Abstract: Stem cell therapy is an extensively researched topic these days as it can potentially improve certain neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease by its mechanism of tissue repairment and the production of new cells. Stem cells are also being used to treat other diseases like cancer, arthritis, etc, and are showing good results. Stem cell therapy has its set of limitations as its effectiveness may decline concerning the age of the patient, as well as their functioning can be disrupted if there is any sort of blockage in the pathway of these cells.
