Brain cell research offers hope for
Alzheimer's
NEW YORK, Feb 28 (Reuters Health) -- Taking cells from a
region of the brain known as the hippocampus, an international
team of researchers have grown functional brain cells in lab
cultures. The findings may have profound implications for
restoring damaged or degenerative brain cells, which occurs in
