Bone marrow-derived cells differentiate in the brain through mechanisms of plasticity
Bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMDCs) have been recognized as a source for transplantation because they can contribute to different cell populations in a variety of organs under both normal and pathological conditions. Many ...

Major discovery explains how adult brain cleans out dead brain cells, produces new ones
(Medical Xpress) -- Adult brains generate thousands of new brain cells called neurons each day; however only a small fraction of them survive. The rest die and are consumed by scavenger cells called phagocytes. Until now, ...
