Summary:
SCIENTISTS have discovered a new way to make the brain repair itself after a stroke, raising hopes that people left paralysed by the debilitating condition could have their mobility restored in the future. Experiments on rats which suffered an induced stroke found that fewer of them were left paralysed after the treatment, which activated stem cells in their brains.
Commentary: Maybe this experiment will eventually be translated into effective treatments for human stroke patients.
