Summary:
When human umbilical cord blood cells (UCBC) were injected into aged laboratory animals, researchers at the University of South Florida (USF) found improvements in the microenvironment of the hippocampus region of the animals’ brains and a subsequent rejuvenation of neural stem/progenitor cells. Published online at BMC Neuroscience, the research presented the possibility of a cell therapy aimed at rejuvenating the aged brain.
