Stem cell transplantation for human diseases:current status and progress in basic research / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:With the development of stem cel culture technology, stem cel transplantation has been a research hotspot in the biological cytology. OBJECTIVE:To review the current situation and progress of basic research on stem cel transplantation for human refractory diseases. METHODS:A computer-based search of CNKI, VIP, Wanfang and PubMed databases was performed for articles related to animal experiments of stem cel transplantation published from January 2008 to October 2014. The key words were“induced pluripotent stem cel s, neural stem cel s, top-up between stem cel s, transplantation”in Chinese and English in the title and abstract. Papers published in authoritative journals or recently were preferred. Total y 113 articles were searched initial y, and only 50 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:With the progress of stem cel culture technology, basic research on the stem cel transplantation for human diseases have been promoted and carried out, and these researches have achieved phased outcomes that provide conditions for more extensive and in-depth fundamental research. It is believed that with the development of basic research on stem cel transplantation to solve a series of difficult problems, stem cel transplantation wil bring hope for treatment of human disease, especial y for treatment of refractory disease.
