Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Spinal cord injury with neurological deficits is devastating to patients and
their families. After the immediate treatment that may involve spinal decompression
and stabilization surgeries, patients are typically left with long-term disability. Intense
research has focused on spinal cord regeneration, tissue repair, and reinnervation to
improve function. Stem cell-based therapies are at the center of this effort. This chapter
summarizes common spinal cord injury (SCI) patterns, including complete and
incomplete SCIs, and their classification-based prognosis and treatments. They review
the types of stem cells used in preclinical and clinical trials in the treatment of SCI and
the associated ethical concerns and summarize the current state of the art of stem cellbased SCI treatments.
