Quick Summary Stem cell therapy for autism aims to reduce brain inflammation, modulate the immune system, and support nerve cell communication. Types of stem cells studied include umbilical cord derived cells, bone marrow stem cells, and umbilical cord blood cells. Early clinical trials show potential improvements in social interaction and
Quick Summary Stem cell therapy for Alzheimer’s uses mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), neural stem cells (NSCs), or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to repair damaged brain cells, reduce inflammation, and support the central nervous system. Early-stage patients may see improved memory and slower decline, but treatment is not yet a
