Researchers embarked on a groundbreaking clinical trial involving the injection of regenerative cells into the brain to treat epileptic seizures.

This experimental therapy, called NRTX-1001, has the potential to offer drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy patients a non-destructive cure for their seizures. The injected cells, derived from human stem cells, are aimed at restoring brain balance and calming seizures.

Early results show a more than 90% reduction in seizure frequency in initial patients post-treatment.
