Interesting concept of adding stem cells to a person who has a stroke to regenerate brain tissue in order to restore function.
The problem I see is that the brain already has 55 billion stem cells. Why not activate them instead?

I think you are probably on to something. I have spoken to a number of stem cell researchers and therapists and a lot of them are theorizing that it isn’t the actual exogenous stem cells that are doing the repairing of the nervous system. Rather, it is the growth factors that come with the stem cells that are inducing/activating the brain’s endogenous stem cells to proliferate for growth/repair.
