Story summary

The University of Zurich researchers reversed stroke damage in mice using a stem cell therapy, regenerating neurons.
The therapy uses human neural stem cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells, with cells surviving and becoming neurons that improve signaling.
Clinical work focuses on safety and delivery methods, while Japan conducts trials of induced stem cells for Parkinson’s disease.
