Stem Cell Breakthrough May Help the Brain Heal Itself After Stroke
New research from the University of Zurich shows that human stem cells made from ordinary adult cells can repair stroke damage in the brain — restoring movement and rebuilding lost tissue in mice. The discovery could one day help millions of stroke survivors regain what was once thought lost forever.
A Single Protein Just Rejuvenated Memory in Old Mice—Here’s Why That’s Hopeful for Alzheimer’s
Scientists identified a single protein, FTL1, that acts like a dimmer switch on aging neurons. Dialing it down in old mice enhanced memory bridges, hinting at a future therapy relevant to Alzheimer’s—though human trials are still ahead.
