Snort Stem Cells, Not Cocaine
FuturePundit —
Snort Stem Cells, Not Cocaine New Scientist reports from the latest Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS - all about reversing the aging process) conference in Cambridge UK and reveals some scientists find they can deliver stem cells into mouse brains with nose drops. Since proteins, bacteria and viruses can enter the brain this way, Lusine Danielyan at the University Hospital of Tübingen in Germany, and her colleagues, wondered if stem cells would also migrate into the brain through the cribriform plate. To test their idea, they dripped a suspension of ...
