Neurobiology: Self-repair in the brain
Anders Björklund1 & Olle Lindvall1
In tissues that can repair themselves, such as skin and liver, dead cells can be replaced either by the proliferation of nearby cells or by the activation of resident stem cells — undifferentiated cells with the potential to generate many different cell types. The brain apparently lacks this regenerative capacity, making it particularly vulnerable to injury or disease.
