Researchers have developed a promising injectable scaffold that stimulates the growth of new blood vessels and nerve cells in stroke-damaged brains. Tested successfully in mice, the therapy works by encouraging the body's own immune cells to transition from a damaging state to a healing one, ultimately helping restore lost motor function.
