Stem cells given in the vital period immediately after a stroke may aid recovery, suggest researchers.

 

Rats injected with stem cells 30 minutes after a stroke had almost normal brain function restored within a fortnight.

 

The research, published in the journal Stem Cell Research and Therapy, adds to others which have found that stem cells could aid stroke patients by boosting the body's ability to repair tissue damage.
