Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising cell source, easy to harvest and differentiate into a variety of mesodermal tissues including fat, bone and cartilage in regenerative medicine. However, for in vivo implantation, ...
Neuroscientists have long believed that scar tissue formed by glial cells—the cells that surround neurons in the central nervous system—impedes damaged nerve cells from regrowing after a brain or spinal cord injury. So ...
