| Popis: |
Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by impaired balance and coordination caused by cerebellar dysfunction. The absence of treatments approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for SCA has driven the investigation of alternative therapeutic strategies, including stem cell therapy. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), known for their multipotent capabilities, have demonstrated significant potential in treating SCA. This review examines how MSCs may promote neuronal growth, enhance synaptic connectivity, and modulate brain inflammation. Recent findings from preclinical and clinical studies are also reviewed, emphasizing the promise of MSC therapy in addressing the unmet needs of SCA patients. Furthermore, ongoing clinical trials and future directions are proposed to address the limitations of the current approaches. |
