Abstract
BACKGROUND: Stroke is a major challenge in neurology due to its multifactorial genesis and irreversible consequences. Processes of endogenous post-stroke neurogenesis, although insufficient, may indicate possible direction of future therapy. Multiple research considers stem-cell-based approaches in order to maximize neuroregeneration and minimize post-stroke deficits.
OBJECTIVE: Aim of this study is to review current literature considering post-stroke stem-cell- based therapy and possibilities of inducing neuroregeneration after brain vascular damage.
METHODS: Papers included in this article were obtained from PubMed and MEDLINE databases. The following medical subject headings (MeSH) were used: "stem cell therapy", "post-stroke neurogenesis", "stem-cells stroke", "stroke neurogenesis", "stroke stem cells", "stroke", "cell therapy", "neuroregeneration", "neurogenesis", "stem-cell human", "cell therapy in human". Ultimate inclusion was made after manual review of the obtained reference list.
RESULTS: Attempts of stimulating neuroregeneration after stroke found in current literature include supporting endogenous neurogenesis, different routes of exogenous stem cells supplying and extracellular vesicles used as a method of particle transport.
CONCLUSION: Although further research in this field is required, post stroke brain recovery supported by exogenous stem cells seems to be promising future therapy revolutionizing modern neurology.
