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
diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
The brain has recently been shown to regenerate some of its cells,
but scientists were unable to identify the cells, known as stem
cells, that gave rise to the new brain neurons. The technique used
in this study now gives scientists the ability to iden....
