Cell Overview and Recent Advances
This information focuses on what stem cells are, the different types,
and also on the advances made in research on stem cells particularly
dealing with the brain.

Protein's and Growth Factor
NERVE GROWTH FACTOR (NGF) started in 1953 when researchers isolated
a protein which appears to help salvage ailing neurons and , perhaps,
provoke new neuron formation as well. In 1999, researchers in San Diego
Genetically modified certain connective-tissue cells, known as fibroblasts,
to make and secrete NGF. They then grafted these cells into subcortical
regions of the brains of aging, memory-deficient monkeys with a documented
loss of functioning neurons. Results show a reversal in both the memory
decline and neural loss. Also VGF, FGF-2, HB-EGF, GDNF, and bFGF have
shown promise in neurogenesis (development of new brain cells).
