Neurodegenerative disorders cause irreversible damage to the brain and affect an increasing number of people worldwide. Although promising, the use of neuronal stem cells requires a better understanding of the process of neurogenesis. Various approaches have been used to control neurogenesis; however, all of these platforms presented major pitfalls. Therefore, an interesting future approach is to leverage the use of stem cell treatment and pharmacological agents such as ROCK inhibitors and growth factors to ameliorate neural deterioration.
