Progress in Stem Cell Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury

Figure 1

The common stem cell (SC) types for the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI), including embryonic stem cells (ESCs), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), neural stem cells (NSCs), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), and olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs). MSCs consist of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), human umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells (HUC-MSCs), and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs).
