Could it be possible to regenerate neurons in the human body? 

It’s a question that has driven Dr. Wise Young for over 40 years. He’s dedicated his career to researching spinal cord injuries and how to develop a treatment for them. Along the way, he’s discovered neurogenesis, a way to regenerate neurons in not just the spinal cord, but also the brain. Thanks to his work, what everybody told him was once impossible, is now close to becoming a reality.  

Join us as Dr. Young discusses his founding of, and work at, the W.M. Keck Center for Collaborative Neuroscience, how the components of stem cells and umbilical cord blood can help regenerate neurons, and what his vision is for the future of research in this growing field.
