Summary:
In an official news release, StemCells, Inc. (NASDAQ: STEM) today announced the publication of a paper describing a new technique for non-invasive tracking of human neural stem cells transplanted into the brains of mice. Dr. Stephen Huhn, Vice President and Head of Stem Cells, Inc.'s Neural Program, called the experiment a step forward in scientists' understanding of how stem cells function in the human brain:
"This is an important contribution to the field of human cellular transplantation. The ability to track non- invasively human neural stem cells transplanted into the brain could enhance our knowledge and understanding of where the cells go, how they get there and how they behave when they get to their final destination." He also believes the finding could eventually help to move human cellular transplants into clinical practice.
