Summary:
The Daily Telegraph reports researchers believe stem cells could restore memory in people with brain injuries and diseases:
"Stroke victims and Alzheimer's patients could have their memories repaired through stem cell therapy, scientists say. Researchers believe their research opens up the possibility of new brain cells being grown to reverse memory loss in millions of people who suffer from dementia and brain injuries. Tests showed stem cells, the body's basic building blocks used for repair and growth, can turn into new brain cells and produce a chemical that protects existing damaged ones."
