UK researchers have been given the go-ahead for a clinical trial to assess the use of stem-cell transplants for stroke. Twelve people will take part in the preliminary safety study, the first time that brain-derived stem cells have been used to treat stroke patients. The trial, due to start later this year, will see different doses of cultured human neural stem cells grafted into the brains of patients who have had a stroke. (source: nature.com)
