The data suggest that FGF-2 supplementation might provide a rational strategy to treat brain injury by simultaneously enhancing neurogenesis and reducing neurodegeneration.
In an accompanying Spotlight article on neurogenesis and brain injury, Daniel A. Peterson and colleagues from Chicago Medical School discuss the most recent developments in managing renewable cells for post-injury brain repair.
