Can Embryonic Stem Cells help repair damaged nerve cells?
Can Embryonic Stem Cells help repair damaged nerve cells? In an article that I read here I found that a company, Geron Corp. published that they have successfully made a big breakthrough in the Pros and Cons of Stem Cell Research. They say that they used Stem Cell Research to produce several “nerve growth factors.” These Nerve growth factors are proteins which stimulate the survival and regeneration of neurons. Obviously, by regenerating neurons you are repairing damaged nerve cells.
It is definitely and interesting update in the Pros and Cons of Stem Cell Research.
Now, the company’s researchers said, they had shown the cells produce multiple nerve growth factors, which are proteins that stimulate the survival and regeneration of neurons.
