BioNews - Brain cells from embryos: two successful mouse implant studies: Two separate studies have successfully transplanted neurons into the brains of mice. The transplanted neurons are able to send and receive electrical impulses, and can be used to compensate for faulty brain cells, restoring normal function. Both studies sourced the transplanted neurons from embryos – mouse embryos in one case, human embryonic stem cells (hESC) were used in the other – and both reported that the neurons fully integrated the mice's brain circuits.
