Default multipotent adult progenitor cells

hi all please see link its a bit boffiny but a very interesting line of research

Interesting article.

The $64,000 question is? How will they get these cells into a location where they can spur neurogenesis? The blood brain barrier will prevent them from reaching neural cells by way of the blood stream.

Maybe they are hoping to learn how to spur on the existing neural cells into replicating. But then how will they control the replicating? Would this effort spur the start of a tumor or will the cells develop axons to connect to the other cells? Will the dendrites connect into axons?

Lots of question. I guess that is why the researcher are called scientists.

Maybe when they get this figured out, we will be able to go to the neurologist to get extra memory (ram) installed in our brains. Or better yet, upgrade the processor to one that can handle more information.

hi mark
maybe the cells only proliferate under hormonal stimulation and have already differentiated into there parent type

then migrate via the cerebral spinal fluid to there parent structure connecting with existing cells

but like you say what would give this new structure the correct form

more invitro testing may answer this question ,once the new structure has been formed inviro conscious / automatic system would perhaps occupy the new space by means of neuroplastic compensation

if the cells were delivered in a slow and monitored fashion the risk of over growth could perhaps be controlled

I dreamed up a new type of CSF shunt, some time ago that maybe used as a delivery/medication system

BUT ITS ALL A BIG MAYBE ? BUT MAYBE,S CAN BECOME REALITY'S
