Researchers Spur Growth Of Adult Brain Stem Cells

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Researchers have found a way to spur the growth of neural stem cells in the brains of adult mice with an eye toward harnessing the brain’s innate capacity for repair to help people with diseases such as Alzheimer’s.Determining how these stem cells can be deployed to replace cells in mice whose brains are damaged in ways resembling Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis in people is the next key step, researchers said.>>> Discuss This Story
