Neural stem cell discovery may treat deadly childhood disease

This may be useful to us if our researchers ever figure out if lack of myelin causes problems in the aftermath of a stroke.

Scientists have successfully used neural stem cells to produce myelin, according to a report published in Science Translational Medicine. Researchers injected neural stem cells into the brains of 4 paediatric patients suffering from a fatal brain condition that inhibits myelin production. After 1 year of follow-up, researchers found that the stem cells successfully engrafted into the patient's brains and showed evidence of myelin production.
