How Fetal Cells Can Deliver Plasticity and Assimilate With Brain Tissue
We generate the cells now from these human embryonic like cells and we can differentiate them into precursor brain cells that resemble fetal brain cells. And then we try to reassemble them in a structure that is just like the fetal tissue that gives rise to our brains normally. We've rebuilt that fetal-like tissue inside an adult brain. So we don't make it in a dish and then transplant it. We actually build it inside the brain where there's damage. Okay, so are these mostly animal models that you're working with? Yes, yes. We're not ready to go in humans yet.
