Continued Focus Needed on Glial Cell Transplantation-University of Rochester

Young glial progenitor cells competitively replace aged and diseased human glia in the adult chimeric mouse brain - Nature Biotechnology

Old or diseased human glial cells in the chimeric mouse brain are eliminated by transplanted young cells.

Consistent with the University of Copenhagen study on transplanted healthy human glial cells outcompeting ageing and diseased human cells, University of Rochester has now claimed that glial cells that are simply younger in age will outcompete even relatively healthy human glial cells and in that specific case address Huntington's Disease. Moreover, UCSD and Providence Portland Neurological have indicated an ability to reduce epileptic seizures by 90% in afflicted patients. It appears we are thus refining our ability to target specific regions of the brain for remedial purposes. Who's going to take the lead? When can I get an injection of younger, healthy glial cells, and where? I will be there.

Exciting stuff! Will have to follow this
