RESUMEN
Ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, traumatic brain injury, bacterial and viral encephalitis, toxic and metabolic encephalopathies are very different pathologies. But, they have much more in common than it might seem at first glance. In this review, the authors propose to consider these brain pathologies from the point of view of the unity of their pathogenetic mechanisms and approaches to therapy. Particular attention is paid to promising therapeutic approaches, such as therapy using cells and their secretion products: an analysis of the accumulated experimental data, the advantages and limitations of these approaches in the treatment of brain damage was carried out. The review may be of interest both to specialists in the field of neurology, neurosurgery and neurorehabilitation, and to readers who want to learn more about the progress of regenerative biomedicine in the treatment of brain pathologies.
