## Abstract Common pathological features of neurodegenerative diseases are progressive dysfunction and neuronal death. In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), motor neurons are selectively affected, leading to death because of paralysis. The main therapeutic goal in neurodegenerative diseases is to
Over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to develop stem cell-based therapies for difficult to treat diseases. Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells, also referred to as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), appear to hold great promise in regards to a regenerative cell-based therapy for th
