Stem Cell Therapy for Motor Neuron Disease In Malaysia

Motor Neuron Disease is a collective term for a large number of progressive neurological diseases which develop in motor neurons of the brain and spinal cord, which are in charge of controlling voluntary muscles. Common Motor Neuron Diseases include Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and spinal muscular atrophy which affects the muscle and results in spasticity, weakness and wasting of muscles. It causes the inability to move and progressive difficulty in speaking and breathing. Conventional medicine strives to alleviate the signs of the disease, although there is increasing interest in stem cell therapy for Motor Neuron Disease due to its potential for curing Motor Neuron Disease.

Stem cell therapy to cure Motor Neuron Disease

Motor Neuron Disease can be treated by stem cells due to their ability to engage the damaged motor neuron and endorse its repair. Stem cells – those used for treatment can be harvested from the patient’s body or from other people (autologous; allogeneic) and have remarkable healing abilities. When delivered in such areas of the body, this cell can stimulate the growth of new neurons, decrease inflammation and perhaps halt the advancement of the disease. This breakthrough strategy presents potential for the advancement of stem cell treatment for Motor Neuron Disease for people diagnosed with MND.
