Stem Cells
"Stem cell research is being performed to ascertain whether damaged brain cells can be fixed or replaced." The results of the study indicated that missing cells were spontaneously replaced. In an experiment conducted by neurologist Evan Snyder at Harvard Medical School, mice were injected with stem cell implants.While it is too early to know for certain if Snyder’s results can be replicated in children with cerebral palsy, scientists are hopeful. If they can find a surefire way to manipulate damaged brain cells to heal or replenish themselves, then conditions like cerebral palsy could be treated, or perhaps reversed."
Dermal Monitoring
Researchers are trying to find a way to help decrease the relevance of cerebral palsy through the use of dermal monitoring. Dermal monitoring is a procedure where professionals will monitor one's skin as it may be coming in contact with a harmful or detrimental substance "A potential method of screening for jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia), a cause of cerebral palsy and loss of hearing in preterm infants with kyperbilirubinemia, has been proposed using painless dermal monitoring."
