Abstract
In the last few decades, the idea of being able to repair the brain by introducing new cells to repair the damaged
areas has become an accepted potential treatment for neurodegenerative diseases. The stromal cell fraction of
many tissues and organs has shown in vitro neurogenic differentiation; however, these cell types are limited by
availability, invasiveness of extraction and in some cases limited proliferative capacity. Human endometrial adult
stem cells have many clinical advantages over the other stem cells. Here, we propose the hypothesis that endometrial
adult stem cells may be induced into neural cells.
