Short circuits the brain

A stroke can destroy brain cells within minutes, often... leaving people with long‑term problems in movement, memory, or speech. But scientists may have found a way to help the brain heal itself.

These stem cells began turning into early‑stage brain cells, and many later developed into active neurons that connected with surrounding tissue. The treatment did more than just grow cells.show more
