A new federal initiative seeks to develop stem cell treatments and other technology to repair brain tissue damaged by stroke, trauma, or neurodegeneration.
The federal government is looking for researchers who can, in 5 years, develop stem cell treatments to repair brain damage caused by stroke, neurodegeneration, and trauma.
The program will specifically target the largest region in the brain, the neocortex, which is responsible for higher cognitive functioning, including attention, thought, perception, and episodic memory. Officials said the aim is to develop technology to repair damage to this part of the brain caused by stroke, head trauma, or other neurodegenerative conditions.
However, the goal of developing this technology in 5 years is “very, very ambitious,” Brent E. Masel, MD, national medical director for the Brain Injury Association of America and clinical professor of neurology at the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas, told“It’s the proverbial moon shot,” he said. “It’s going to take more than 4 or 5 years to get this accomplished.”
