Abstract

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), leading to symptoms including paralysis, and motor and sensory dysfunction, is a complex field to research. There exists no current cure for SCI repair. However, many kinds of therapies for SCI have shown potential, especially cellular therapies. Among them, the use of neural stem cells (NSCs) and neural progenitor cells (NPCs) is considered promising. Neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) are multi-potent cells that can self-renew, and differentiate into neural cells. With suitable property, NSPC has become a long-standing focus of research. This review discusses the latest advances in NSPC transplantation in the treatment of SCI and related technical details and serves as a reference for further exploration of neuroprosthetic techniques related to NSPCs.
