Description
Stem cells promise to replace what Alzheimer's and Parkinson's destroy, and Jasmina Isaković, Anna Athanassiadis, and Marian Khubeis grade that promise in a 2025 review. They survey lab studies and clinical trials from 2019 to 2024 for both diseases.
Four cell types carry the field: embryonic, mesenchymal, neural, and induced pluripotent stem cells. In the lab they grow, specialize, calm inflammation, and protect neurons. Seventy-six trials have run in fifteen years, over half in the last five. The obstacles are equally clear: ethics around embryonic cells, uneven cell cultures, and results that vary between labs. New materials that help grafts take hold, and electromagnetic fields that steer the cells, are offered as the next fixes.
