astrocytes, stroke and estrogen..... estradiol is one powerful drug

the impact of estrogen on the human body is so dramatic and widespread. i understand that in the early stages, if caught early enough who suffer strokes, patients are given estrogen.  estradiol truly has rewired and repaired my brain in ways maybe mankind is not suppose to but with me i see it as the only alternative in science today

One of the major tasks now is to explore whether astrocytes are also converted to neurons in the human brain following damage or disease. Interestingly, it is known that in the healthy human brain, new nerve cells are formed in the striatum. The new data raise the possibility that some of these nerve cells derive from local astrocytes. If the new mechanism also operates in the human brain and can be potentiated, this could become of clinical importance not only for stroke patients, but also for replacing neurons which have died, thus restoring function in patients with other disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease," says Olle Lindvall, Senior Professor of Neurology.
