Neutrophils Can Reverse Brain Damage for Stroke & Spinal Injuries

Regen Center Blog, Neural Stem Cells, Research

Researchers have just announced discovering a new type of white blood cells (leukocytes) that can save dying/degenerated nerve cells and reverse damaged nerve fibers in patients with head injuries or spinal cord damage. A type of cell that previously was thought only to help fight infection also promotes nerve regrowth and neural regeneration. 5 Types of white blood cells (granulocytes): …

Neuron Synaptic Connections & The Function of Neurotransmitters

Regen Center Glossary, Neural Stem Cells

What are Neurotransmitters? UPDATED July 15, 2020 Neurotransmitters are the human body’s chemical messengers. These sensory neuron molecules are used by our central and peripheral nervous system to rapidly send messages between muscles and the brain or from neurons to muscles in the body. The neuro and Gastrointestinal neurotransmitter communication starts in the synaptic cleft of 2 neuron cells. The …

Neural stem cells have the capability to transform into glial cells or neurons. Oligodendrocytes used in treatment of TM and astrocytes are examples of glial cells. What are Neural Cells and Why are they Important? Different areas of the human body, spinal cord and brain house different types of specialized stem cells.  In haematology for example, cord blood derived stem …
