Table 3 Challenges of stem cells translation from animal experiments to clinical application via INA

From: Advances in intranasal application of stem cells in the treatment of central nervous system diseases

Challenges

Solutions

Long-term therapeutic effect of cell transplantation

Long-term observations of therapeutic effect in different animal models

Optimum cell quantity

Different optimal cell sizes need to be found under different models

Long-term safety of cell transplantation

Long-term observations of side effect in different animal models (such us oncogenicity)

Appropriate disease type
