Objective To review the status and appl ication prospect in repair of spinal cord injury by stem cells. Methods The related articles in recent years were extensively reviewed, the biological characteristics of stem cells, the experimental and cl inical studies on repair of spinal cord injury by stem cells, the mechanism of the therapy and the problem were discussed and analyzed. Results The foundational and cl inical study indicated that the great advance was made in repair of spinal cord injury, the stem cells could immigrate in the spinal cord, and differentiate into neuron and secrete neurotrophic factors.
