Stroke Breakthrough With Stem Cell Therapy
The sudden onset of stroke is devastating and leads to temporary and/or permanent disability to speech, sensation, memory and motor neuron damage. The damage is caused by a bleeding or blocked cerebral blood vessel leading to local brain damaged areas with loss of neurons and glial cells.An effective stem cell therapy exists that may offer [...]
