Limitations in brain repair

Nature Medicine volume 8, pages 928–930 (2002)Cite this article

Stroke and irradiation can cause severe brain damage, with consequences for neuronal replacement. The results of two new studies may help us understand the barriers to effective therapies to restore injured brain tissue (pages 955–962 and 963–970).
