New Options for Treating Neurological Disease: Stem Cell Therapy
Decision Resources, Inc., Dec 2006, Pages: 25
Stem cell therapy development is challenged by controversy, intellectual property issues, and a high failure rate. Despite these challenges, stem cell therapy presents some of the most promising options for hard-to-treat and highly degenerative neurological diseases.
Get the Answers You Need to Shape Your Strategy
Stem cell therapy holds vast potential for treating degeneration or injury in areas of the body that are incapable of autonomous healing, such as the central nervous system (CNS). How can stem cells boost healing in the CNS? What are the limitations of these therapies in the CNS? What scientific and regulatory roadblocks exist for developing stem cell therapies for the CNS?
Several manufacturers are investigating stem cell therapies to treat neurological disease. What are the different approaches for developing these therapies? What value do different stem cell therapies offer, and what challenges do they face? How might these agents impact the different disease markets?
Stem cell therapies may represent the first true disease-modifying therapies for multiple neurological diseases, but their success will depend on many factors, including ethics, clinical trial design, and safety concerns. How are ethics affecting stem cell design? What can we expect from future stem cell clinical trials? Which stem cell therapies are likely to offer the best safety profiles?
