Scientists have discovered a new mechanism in brain stem cells that controls how and when they develop into cells which repair damage in neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis. They have found that a signaling pathway (called Wnt) in brain stem cells may be a critical key to developing therapies that would enable the restoration of damaged tissues.
