Researchers create molecule that nudges nerve stem cells to mature
Date: 17.6.2008
Inspired by a chance discovery during another experiment, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have created a small **molecule** that stimulates nerve stem cells to begin maturing into **nerve cells** in culture.
This finding might someday allow a person's own nerve stem cells to be grown outside the body, stimulated into maturity, and then re-implanted as working nerve cells to treat various diseases, the researchers said.
