Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Mediated Neurotrophic Support (MSC-mediated Neurotrophic Support)
- Target
- MSC-mediated Neurotrophic Support
- Molecular classification
- Paracrine signaling, Cellular therapy, Secreted factors, Immunomodulation
01
Overview
Mesenchymal stem cell-mediated neurotrophic support is defined by the collective action of multiple secreted trophic molecules—primarily acting through paracrine mechanisms—to protect neurons from degeneration/injury while promoting regeneration. It is being actively explored both preclinically and clinically as a promising approach for treating diverse neurological disorders due to its multimodal mechanism involving direct neuron protection/regeneration plus immunomodulation.
