Neurobiologists from the University of California-Irvine (UCI) released research recently, showing significant memory restoration in victims of traumatic brain injury (TBI) after receiving a neural stem cell treatment over the course of a few months. The researchers subjected brain-injured mice to three months of the stem cell treatment and found memory levels of the mice returning to healthy levels prior to the brain injury.
Within the study, researchers believe that a protein, known as neurotrophins, is secreted during the stem cell treatment that protects and essentially rescues damaged brain cells.
Scientists explained that using the protein to develop a drug will likely offer victims of TBI assistance in supplementing memory loss. To keep victims of TBI completely up to date on
this and other brain injury developments, LegalView would like to remind readers of the vast array of brain injury related information and resources available through its brain injury
