Young
Blood Rejuvenates Old Brains
By
Dean Reinke
For a number of years research has been taking place to
see if new cells can replace older cells, which includes migrating to
the area where the dead cells reside.
Dean cites several studies which begin to address the
problems. Mice may still be the focus of study, but they point to
possible future therapies for humans.
If there is an area you would like Dean to research, send
him an email.
