Reprogrammed Astrocytes Show Promise in Treating Neurodegenerative Diseases
Astrocyte transplantation shows promise in treating neurodegenerative diseases by restoring brain function and promoting regeneration. These transplanted cells integrate into the host brain, forming synaptic connections and surviving up to a year. Factors like donor cell type and transplantation timing affect success, offering hope for conditions like ALS, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's.
