The spinal cord injury leads to enervation of normal tissue homeostasis ultimately leading to paralysis. Until now there is no proper cure for the treatment of spinal cord injury. Recently, cell therapy in animal spinal cord injury models has shown some progress of recovery. At present, clinical trials are under progress to evaluate the efficacy of cell transplantation for the treatment of spinal cord injury. Different types of cells such as pluripotent stem cells derived neural cells, mesenchymal stromal cells, neural stem cells, glial cells are being tested in various spinal cord injury models. In this review we highlight both the advances and lacuna in the field of spinal cord injury by discussing epidemiology, pathophysiology, molecular mechanism, and various cell therapy strategies employed in preclinical and clinical injury models and finally we discuss the limitations and ethical issues involved in cell therapy approach for treating spinal cord injury.

The review analyzes the current advances of cell therapy for neurological complications of ischemic stroke and spinal cord injury (SCI). We demonstrate the most recent data on the use of different types of stem cells for the treatment of these severe damages, obtained both in experimental studies using animal models and in clinical studies. We particularly discuss the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and neural stem/progenitor cells (NSC/NPC) for the treatment of stroke and SCI. We also discuss the prospects for a further development of cell therapy of these diseases.
