Stem Cell Therapy for ALS in 2023
ALS is an adult-onset disorder involving the degeneration and loss of MNs. Patients present with loss of coordination and muscle strength with transition to complete loss of muscle control. Multiple cell types and mechanisms are likely involved in ALS pathogenesis, which makes the development of conventional drug therapies difficult. Stem Cell Therapy for for ALS offers an integrating neural component and additionally environmental enrichment to support and protect MNs from degeneration.
What are the current treatments for ALS?
At the moment there is no cure for ALS. Most of the current used treatments focus on symptoms and providing supportive care, with the goal of improving quality of life and prolonging survival. Along Stem Cell Therapy for ALS…
There are five main types of treatments for ALS:
Physical Therapy
Medications
Nutrition
Paliative Care
How is ALS diagnosed?
At the moment, there is not a test that can provide a definite diagnosis of ALS, although the presence of upper and lower motor neuron signs in a single limb is strongly suggestive. The diagnosis of ALS is primarily based on the symptoms and signs the physician observes in the person and a series of tests to rule out other diseases. Physicians obtain the patient’s medical history and conduct a neurologic examinations to assess whether symptoms such as muscle weakness, atrophy of muscles, hyperreflexia, and spasticity are worsening.

Stem Cell Treatment for ALS
Currently, no effective therapeutic options for ALS that can cure te disease. However Stem Cell therapy has been the new hope for ALS treatment by targeting multiple pathogenic mechanisms, mainly neuroinflammation.
This is conducted through the natural ability and capability of stem cells to differentiate into diferent cells within the central nervous system. These supportive cells may have the ability to slow the degeneration of motor neurons improving the patients symptoms and slowing down the progression of the disease.
What results can an ALS patient expect from stem cell treatment?
ALS is an incurable neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
”Amyotrophic” comes from the Greek . “A” means no. “Myo” refers to muscle. “Trophic” means nourishment. So, amyotrophic means “no muscle nourishment,” and when a muscle has no nourishment, it “atrophies” or wastes away.
“Lateral” identifies the areas in a person’s spinal cord where portions of the nerve cells that signal and control the muscles are located. As this area degenerates, it leads to scarring or hardening (“sclerosis”) in the region.
Stem cell therapy focuses on recovering the motor neurons and other cells to protect the existing neurons and re-establish the microenvironment into the spinal cord and brain.
The results that a patient can expect from Stem Cell Therapy for ALS is that there are no side effects, slows the disease’s progression, can extend motor neurons’ survival, is a safe treatment and can improve disease-related symptoms
