Heracles was lucky he wasn’t fighting something with the regenerative ability of the real <em>Hydra</em>, which can re-grow its entire body from a few hundred cells.

The research, published July 11 in the journal <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221367111730262X"><em>Stem Cell Reports</em></a>, opens possibilities for effectively guiding stem cells to repair brain damage.</p> July 11, 2017 - 3:24pm Andy Fell /news/neural-stem-cells-steered-electric-fields-rat-brain
