For decades, brain injury was considered largely irreversible. Today, researchers are asking a different question: Can the brain be helped to repair itself? Dr. Mihaela-Madalina Fluri explores the potential of umbilical-cord-derived cells for treating perinatal brain injury and promoting neuroregeneration. From promising experimental findings to the challenges of translating them into clinical practice, the talk will explore what cell-based therapies could mean for lifelong neurological outcomes — and what questions still need to be answered.
