Groundbreaking stem cell brain implant helps fight epilepsy in rats
Severe epilepsy is very difficult to treat, but an experimental approach involvingimplanted stem cellsin the brain represents a groundbreaking way topotentially stop seizures for good. Carried out by researchers at Texas A&M University, the technique has yet to be tried on human subjects, but has proven highly successful on rats. Rats given the implants suffered 70 percent fewer seizures than those without. That figure could drop further with additional research....
