Neural Stem Cells Help Repair Brain Injuries, Restore Movement in Cerebral Palsy Mouse Model

Neural stem cells can repair damaged parts of the brain while restoring motor impairments in a mouse model of mice of cerebral palsy, a study has found. The study, “Exogeneous neural precursor cell transplantation results in structural and functional recovery in a hypoxic-ischemic hemiplegic mouse model,” was published in…

Umbilical Cord-derived Stem Cells Could Help Repair Brain Injury in Neonates, Mouse Study Finds

Stem cells derived from the umbilical cord can protect nerve cells from injury caused before birth, a study in mice has found. The results favor moving forward with cell therapies as potential therapeutic alternatives to treating neurological conditions caused by brain injury, such as cerebral palsy.
