Description
Summary:Cell therapy and tissue engineering are promising therapeutic strategies for such neurodegenerative diseases as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Studies of different cell types have reported promising yet contradictory results, and the development of biomaterials enabling the integration of exogenous and host cells has been slow. This review analyses the most promising results published to date and emphasises the need for further research into the clinical application of biomaterials. Resumen: La terapia celular y la ingeniería tisular han dado un paso adelante en el desarrollo de posibles estrategias terapéuticas en enfermedades neurodegenerativas como la Esclerosis Lateral amiotrófica (ELA). Diversos tipos celulares se han ensayado tanto con resultados prometedores como contradictorios, por su parte, el desarrollo de biomateriales que favorezcan la integración de células exógenas en el huésped ha sido lento. La presente revisión pretende, abordar los resultados más prometedores y recordar el camino que aún hay por recorrer en la traslación a la clínica.
