Summary

Story summary

Lab-grown brain cells from the University of Zurich improved motor skills in stroke-injured mice.
Transplanted neural progenitor cells matured into functional neurons and integrated into brain circuits.
The therapy reduced inflammation, repaired vessels, and strengthened the blood-brain barrier.
Findings published in Nature Communications; potential human trials in 5-7 years if safety tests succeed.
