Lab-Grown Brain Cells Restore Walking Ability In Stroke-Damaged Mice

In A Nutshell * Stroke-injured mice that received lab-grown brain cells regained smoother walking and better coordination compared to untreated mice. * Most transplanted cells matured into working brain cells, and many became the very type of nerve cells that strokes usually wipe out. * The therapy didn’t just fill gaps: it calmed brain inflammation, strengthened tiny blood vessels, helped seal the brain’s natural protective barrier, and nudged the brain’s own stem cells to grow new neurons. * If ongoing safety tests succeed, researchers think the first human trials could begin in the next 5–7 years. =================================================================== ZURICH, Switzerland —...
