A research team has identified two receptors that increase the number of restorative stem cells as a response to brain injury. This knowledge could lead to development of new drugs that target the two stem cell receptors which are key players in brain regeneration.

Commentary: Hopefully this research will enable the development of drugs that produce stem cells that can be used to treat diseases and injuries.
