A study in Molecular Therapy describes how neuroD1-based gene therapy turns glial cells — abundant support cells in the brain — into neurons, repairing damage that results from stroke and significantly improving motor function in mice.Once...
A specific line of human neural stem cells shows potential for helping recover motor function in those who suffer a hemiparetic stroke. Results from the study were published recently in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine.NSI-566 human neural stem cells were implanted...
