This patent teaches the use of growth hormone to stimulate hematopoiesis. The fact that various hormones have hematopoietic activity suggests that it may be worthwhile to assess their activity on the growth of neural stem cells both in vitro, but also in vivo.
I believe that there is evidence of hormones like testosterone increasing mental acuity in elderly patients...could this have something to do with endogenous neural stem cells being activated?
