Summary:
By activating neural stem cells in a rat's brain, scientists helped restore movement in animals who suffered from simulated strokes, according to a report in the online edition of the journal Nature. The work suggests scientists may be able to use biochemical secrets in stem cells as a basis for treatments, rather than relying on cumbersome and potentially risky transplants to treat a variety of ailments, the scientists said.
Commentary: Hopefully this finding will lead to safe and effective stem cell treatments for stroke patients.
