Saving Memories: Stem-cell transplants improve memory in brain-injured mice.

Summary:

Using a clever new technique, researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have shown that stem-cell transplants may improve memory after brain injury, at least in mice. Their work adds to growing evidence that stem cells might eventually help combat the devastating memory loss associated with traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, and stroke.
