Abstract
In search of therapies for stroke, substantial progress has been made with the use of stem cells. A constellation of embryonic and extraembryonic sources provides researchers with the ability to harvest stem cells. However, these derivations also provide their individual difficulties as the optimal conditions of use are still being determined. This review will outline the current knowledge, including benefits and challenges, of the many current sources of stem cells for stroke therapy.
