Stem Cell Transplant in Rat Brains

twivel writes "According to this article, scientists have transplanted stem cells into the brain of stroke-damaged rats. These stem cells grew and formed connections with neighboring cells. In 7 days, cells began to differentiate into basic, yet immature types of cells that form the fundamental structure of the brain. Pretty cool, though I wonder where they find their 'stroke-stricken' rats at." Unfortunately for the rats, the strokes are probably induced.
