A Japanese research team has demonstrated in rat experiments that stem cells from human primary tooth pulp may help treat chronic-phase cerebral palsy. "This is the first animal study to show that stem cell treatment works even after motor deficits have already appeared," said Clinical Professor Yoshiaki Sato of Nagoya University Hospital, the study's corresponding author. The findings are published in the journal Stem Cell Research & Therapy.
