Stem Cell Therapy for Neurodegenerative Diseases: Promise and Challenges

Neurodegenerative diseases are a group of chronic, progressive disorders characterized by the degeneration of neurons in the brain and/or spinal cord, resulting in a gradual loss of cognitive, motor, and sensory functions. These diseases include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Despite intensive research efforts, there are currently no effective treatments that can reverse or halt the progression of these diseases.
