Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles ease brain bleeding in newborn rats
E-Mail IMAGE: Recent reports showed that stem cells transplantation was effective on improving brain injury from severe intraventricular hemorrhage in newborn rats. As a next step, because stem cells secrete bioactive extracellular... view more Credit: AlphaMed Press Durham, NC - Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) - or bleeding in the brain - is a devastating condition common to premature babies, especially those born more than 10 weeks early. Injuries to the brain induced by severe IVH and the ensuing pressure caused by fluid buildup (known as post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, or PH...
