A first-in-human trial suggests that neural stem cell transplant is safe, improves motor function, and provides hope for patients with chronic ischemic stroke.

Stem cells can renew themselves without differentiating. Aging, inflammation, and environmental exposures may drive phenotypic changes in tissue stem cells that cause them to become cancer stem cells.

Much the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres - regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure - protect the tips of chromosomes from damage.
