Stem-cells activation may repair brain after stroke

The brain may repair itself after a stroke. Here is a new way that is discovered by the scientists of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in Maryland, America. Ronald McKay conducted the research. The ‘Nature’ magazine has published the report.

The experiment was conducted on the rats. It showed that after the stroke in rats, some of them were unconscious. After the treatment that activated stem cells in the brain, many recovered from the loss of movement they suffered with the stroke.

The success of the experimentation raises hopes that people who suffer stroke and left unconscious may get energy and consciousness if the brain cells get repair by the activation in the stem cells.

Proteins activate stem cells that starve of oxygen during strokes. The chemical process leads to a ‘cascade’ effect. It creates new brain cells in a complicated reaction after the stroke. The treatment also enhanced the ability of existing cells to survive the lack of oxygen.
