    [ES]: Los trastornos heredados del metabolismo son enfermedades graves de la infancia que cursan con un gran deterioro cognitivo y del desarrollo psicomotor. La fisiopatolog铆a del progresivo deterioro del sistema nervioso suele estar asociada a una severa neuroinflamaci贸n y desmielinizaci贸n, y como consecuencia, neurodegeneraci贸n. Por el momento no tienen cura y precisan de actitudes terap茅uticas precoces y agresivas, que conllevan altas tasas de mortalidad y, muy frecuentemente, escasos grados de mejor铆a funcional y supervivencia. El trasplante de m茅dula 贸sea y de c茅lulas mesenquimales de m茅dula 贸sea son terapias de elecci贸n y experimentales que consiguen mejorar el curso de estas enfermedades mediante diferentes mecanismos de acci贸n: remplazo de enzima deficiente, intercambio de membranas y regulaci贸n del proceso inflamatorio.[EN]: Inherited metabolism disorders are serious childhood diseases that lead to significant cognitive impairment and regression of psychomotor development. The pathophysiology of the neural progressive deterioration is usually associated with severe neuroinflammation and demyelination, and as a consequence, neurodegeneration. At the moment they have no adequate treatment and require early and aggressive therapeutic approaches, which entail high mortality rates and, very frequently, low degrees of functional improvement and survival. Bone marrow transplantation and bone marrow mesenchymal cells grafts are therapeutic and experimental therapies that improve the course of these diseases through different mechanisms of action: enzyme replacement, membrane exchange and regulation of the inflammatory process.Peer reviewe
