Last week, we posted some advances in stem cells research that could in the future target and treat certain conditions in the brain where there is a diminishing function of critical neurons. These stem cells have the potential to function as neurons and restore function if appropriately directed. An area of…
Stem Cells in the Nervous System – Can They Repair Damaged Neurons?
Everyone’s brain is slightly different both in terms of structural and functional connectivity. Neurons are the principal cells of the brain that permit integration and transmission of critical information between various regions of the brain. Neurons are very susceptible to damage and neurons have very limited ability to repair themselves…
