Summary:

New findings, by EuroStemCell researchers at Lund University in Sweden, are published in the journal Neuron this week have revealed that nerve cells generated from stem cells in an adult diseased and damaged brain function as normal nerve cells. The new cells also seem to counteract the effects of neurological diseases. The new nerve cells also seem to have a positive function, namely, to counteract the disease in the brain.
