Rebuilding the brain’s circuitry - Healthy neurons can integrate into diseased areas
Page
Collaborators from HSCI, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), and the Harvard Medical School have shown that neuronal transplants can repair brain circuitry and substantially normalize function in mice with a...
Using iPs cells to create disease models
Page
While much of the public discussion and debate concerning stem cell research has focused on the possibility of developing stem cell therapies for a myriad of chronic, often fatal diseases, scientists have been equally excited by the potential that stem...
Hope against disease targeting children
