March 3, 2011 Potassiums and Astrocytes

Let's see what's new today. Ok taking more potassium could reduce stroke or even CVD. Gotta have more banana in my diet. Yes...Human Cells Derived from Stem Cells Restore Movement in Animal Models. Subhanallah Human astrocytes implanted in rats restored their movements. Exciting? What's exciting about this study is that previous study used rat's astrocytes not human's. But this one needs fetal astrocyte. "Clearly, not all human astrocytes are equal when it comes to promoting repair of the injured central nervous system."

Now...back to work :)
