Stem-cell therapy is an intervention strategy that introduces new stem cells into damaged tissue in order to treat disease. The intention of stem cell therapy in patients with Leukodystrophy is to stimulate the production of myelinogenic oligodendrocytes which form healthy myelin sheaths to protect axons, helping nerve cells communicate with each other.
