Stem cell therapy can repair brain damage and improve memory function in mice
A one-time injection of an experimental stem cell therapy can repair brain damage and improve memory function in mice with conditions that replicate human strokes and dementia, a new UCLA study finds.
Dementia can arise from multiple conditions, and it is characterized by an array of symptoms including problems with memory, attention, communication and physical coordination. The two most common causes of dementia are Alzheimer s disease and white matter strokes -; small strokes that accumulate in the connecting areas of the brain. It s a vicious cycle: The two leading causes of dementia are almost always seen together and each one accelerates the other, said Dr. S. Thomas Carmichael, senior author of the study and interim director of the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA.

Prop 16 sought to overturn Proposition 209, the 1996 ballot measure that amended the California Constitution to ban the use of affirmative action at public universities and other public entities. Supporters argued that removing the ban would have allowed higher education to open the door wider for African American and Latino applicants. Our message basically was that . government should not judge people based on their race, their skin color, their ethnicity or their ancestry. They should be judged as individuals, said Manuel Klausner, co-chairman of the No on 16 campaign. I think voter confusion was our biggest uphill battle, said Michele Siqueiros, a member of the Yes on 16 ballot measure committee. We know that when folks read the ballot description that they were simply confused by it.
