Further promise of stem cells therapies in the enteric nervous system
L Becker, H Mashimo - Gastroenterology, 2009 - gastrojournal.org
Despite public controversies surrounding embryonic stem cell (ESC) research, the prospect
of cell-based therapies for regenerative medicine is promising. Researchers are
progressing, often in small, incremental steps, toward harnessing stem cells to treat a range
of ailments, including neurodegenerative disorders, spinal cord injuries, diabetes mellitus,
and organ failure. In the realm of gastroenterology, there has been significant interest in
developing cell-based therapies for gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders caused by …
