Spinal cord injury represents a severe form of neurological damage and neural stem cells have emerged as one of the most promising therapeutic options for repairing such injuries due to their remarkable capacity for self-renewal and differentiation into both neurons and glial cells. In this article, we aim to provide an in-depth review on the utilization of transplanted neural stem cells as well as endogenous neural stem cells in the treatment of spinal cord injuries. Additionally, we will address the challenges encountered in implementing neural stem cell therapy for these injuries while also discussing future directions that hold potential for further advancements in this field.
