“We’ve found the gene that directs these cells to become quiescent,” adds Otsuki. “The next step is to identify potential drug-like molecules that block this gene and awaken a person’s stem cells.”

Cell therapy is the most promising type of therapy.

@twinklestars you were going to say something…
I think stem cells are further along in the process than a drug that hasn’t been discovered yet (they’ve discovered this gene as a target for a drug) or gene therapy - although gene therapy (in general) is coming along like gangbusters.
There is also bryostatin which looks interesting as far as increasing neurogenesis and connectivity in the brain.
