Summary:
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports researchers at the University of Pittsburgh obtained embryonic stem cells from cloned monkey embryos:
"University of Pittsburgh reproductive biologists have taken one small step for basic science that could bring about one giant leap for public health. Using techniques developed earlier this year by South Korean researchers, Pitt scientists cloned monkey embryos that survived long enough to develop the precursors to embryonic stem cells, the universal cells hailed for their potential to cure Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, spinal cord injuries and other ailments."

Stem cells fill gap left by stroke, researchers find. Next step is to determine whether cells can restore normal brain function
Source: Stanford Report
Date: August 4, 2004
Summary:
Researchers at Stanford University medical school report the first success using stem cells to populate the damaged region with new neurons in rats. If those cells also replace the function of the lost cells, they could help people recover after a stroke.

Fetal stem cells show promise in treating strokes: Infusions migrated to damaged spots in test rats' brains

Date: July 28, 2004
Summary:
The San Francisco Chronicle reports on new research investigating applications of fetal stem cells to treat strokes:
"Stem cells derived from human fetuses and used in early experiments with anesthetized rats show long-term promise in treating strokes, according to a team of Stanford University brain researchers. The stem cells have shown the ability to migrate into spaces filled with dead brain cells in laboratory rats suffering from the same types of strokes that can disable and kill humans, the scientists report."

Stem cells promise stroke therapy: Stem cells could potentially be used to repair the damage to brain tissue caused by a stroke, say scientists

Summary:
A team from Stanford University injected foetal stem cells into stroke-damaged rats' brains. They found the cells could migrate to the damaged areas, and turn into the right type of brain cell. Whether they actually aid recovery is still unknown.

Summary:
Transplants of human fetal stem-cells may help repair stroke-induced brain damage. A study in rats has produced the most promising result yet, by showing that grafted cells can home in on injured brain regions and form replacement nerve cells.
