摘要

Despite the big progresses in the field of regenerative medicine, the loss of neurons remains essentially an unresolved challenge. Among the different approaches under investigation, there are great expectations on stem and progenitor cells-based strategies. Due to their capacity to home to the site of injury and theoretically generate all kinds of neuronal cells, stem cells seem the ideal candidates for targeted therapeutic interventions also in light of the lack of spontaneous regeneration of the central nervous system.
