The modified stem cells used in the study have been in clinical development for more than a decade to treat stroke and traumatic brain injuries. Clinical trials had already indicated that ...

Now, scientists at Gladstone Institutes and the regenerative medicine company SanBio have shown that a cell therapy derived from stem cells can restore normal patterns of brain activity after a stroke ...

and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), to assess their effectiveness in treating ischemic stroke. One significant area of research is the use of neural stem cells (NSCs) for stroke recovery.

Regular flossing (at least once a week) may reduce the risk of stroke linked to blood clots from the heart and conditions like atrial fibrillation (AFib). Its benefits appear to be independent of ...

Now, a new stem cell treatment may vastly increase stroke victims’ chances at recovery. Sharon Thomas is back at work like nothing was ever wrong. But four years ago, she had a stroke.

Other types of strokes include cryptogenic strokes, in which the cause is undetermined; brain stem stroke, which can affect both sides of the body; thrombotic stroke, caused by a blood clot that d ...

A UK-based study of stem cells injected into the brains of stroke patients has produced some signs that it could restore use of previously disabled arms. ReNeuron has been working on stem cell ...
