Summary:
The San Francisco Chronicle reports on new research investigating applications of fetal stem cells to treat strokes:
"Stem cells derived from human fetuses and used in early experiments with anesthetized rats show long-term promise in treating strokes, according to a team of Stanford University brain researchers. The stem cells have shown the ability to migrate into spaces filled with dead brain cells in laboratory rats suffering from the same types of strokes that can disable and kill humans, the scientists report."
