Nakon traumatične ozljede mozga, ponekad se dogodi da se mozak samostalno oporavi, stvarajući nove moždane stanice koje nadomjeste oštećene. Ali oporavak se ne odvija dovoljno brzo da omogući obnovu degenerativnih stanja kao što su bolesti motoričkih neurona (poznate kao Lou Gehrig-ova bolest ili ALS). Siddharthan Chandran prolazi kroz nove metode, koje koriste posebne matične stanice, što bi moglo pomoći oštećenom mozgu da se obnovi brže.

Mogu li se moždana oštećenja popraviti sama?

The brain holds a surprising ability to repair itself, but this natural process is too slow to reverse the devastation of diseases like ALS and multiple sclerosis. With 35 million people affected worldwide and costs topping $700 billion annually, the need for solutions is urgent. Advances in stem cell science now allow the creation of personalized tissue repair kits, opening possibilities for both drug discovery and direct therapies. Early trials even show stem cells helping nerves recover in conditions once thought hopeless.
