Hope for reversing stroke-induced long-term disability
Permanent brain damage from a stroke may be reversible thanks to a developing therapeutic technique, a study has found. The novel approach combines transplanted human stem cells with a special protein that the US Food and Drug Administration already approved for clinical studies in new stroke patients. The researchers say they are the first to use 3K3A-APC to produce neurons from human stem cells grafted into the stroke-damaged mouse brain.
