Stem Cell Therapy for Stroke

Scientists have developed a new stem cell based therapy for stroke patients. Using so-called EVs (extracellular vesicles) it overcomes barriers that cells cannot. In animal models it is shown that the loss of brain tissue may be reduced by up to 50 percent in case of a stroke and that it supports the natural healing of the brain. Human studies are planned for 2019.
