Bone marrow stem cells are able to differentiate into a number of cell types, including liver, lung, and neuronal cells in rodents, but it has been unclear if cells transplanted into human brains can differentiate into neurons. In the January 21 early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Eva Mezey and colleagues at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, US, show that transplanted bone marrow generates new neurons in human brains (PNAS, DOI:10.1073/pnas.0336479100, January 21, 2003.).
