Transplanted bone marrow can led to the production of new neurons in human brains. "Adult bone marrow stem cells seem to differentiate into muscle, skin, liver, lung, and neuronal cells in rodents and have been shown to regenerate myocardium, hepatocytes, and skin and gastrointestinal epithelium in humans," explained researchers in the United States.
