This article focuses on a research study related to the functioning neural network grown from stem cells. This research documents how physicians in Stockholm, Sweden and Oslo, Norway collaborated with researchers to successfully produce functioning neurons from adult stem cells harvested from the ventricle area of a donor's brain. The stem cells were obtained during a standard endoscopy procedure to treat hydrocephalus. Researchers believe manipulating the combination of proteins in the culture activates an internal mechanism determining the type of brain tissue the cell becomes. The manifold implications of this landmark study for the future treatment of neural diseases and trauma make it among the most significant advances in neuroscience. |
