Stammzellen und Autismus: Exploring Therapeutic Potential
Stem cell research has emerged as a promising frontier in the exploration of treatments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Stammzellen, with their ability to develop into various cell types, offer the potential to repair or replace damaged neurons and alleviate the symptoms associated with ASD.
Research Advances in Stem Cell Therapies for Autism
Research has demonstrated the potential of stem cell therapies to improve neurological function and behavior in animal models of ASD. Induzierte pluripotente Stammzellen (ipscs), derived from the patient’s own cells, have been used to generate neurons that exhibit more typical electrophysiological properties and reduced synaptic abnormalities. Zusätzlich, stem cell transplantation has shown promise in restoring social behavior and reducing repetitive behaviors in animal models.
