Stem cells act through multiple mechanisms to benefit mice with neurodegenerative disease

Source: Burnham Institute

Summary:

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) hold great promise for benefiting degenerative diseases, and do so by invoking multiple mechanisms. Such cells can be grown in a manner compatible with clinical use (i.e., without animal feeder layers) and even without the need for immunosuppression.
