Summary:

In some of the first research funded by California's stem cell agency, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), scientists at the University of California, San Francisco, suggest that stem cells in the brain have a surprising capacity to repair damaged tissue. The findings could help in the quest for treatments of brain trauma such as stroke, researchers said.
