Not yet. Once brain or nerve cells die, that's it. Kaput. Though there has been some interesting work with stem cells lately to replace dead nerve tissues, and there was an experiment involving nerve tissues growing along a lattice of special silk.
But give science time enough, and I'm sure they'll be able to solve the problem of death ...
... though I've a feeling none of us will see it in our lifetimes, no matter how long they get.

Nope. Cellular degradation can begin as soon as oxygen starvation occurs.
However, my mate Herbert was tinkering with a rather interesting serum not so very long ago, and my Great Great Great Uncle Ward had some strange notions of his own...

maybe you should do down your local bar and find out, most people are usually brain-dead by the end of the night but still somehow manage to get up and walk home!

not yet, they are researching this with regards to cyronic freezing as to whether people who are frozen would be able to be reanimated and what they would be like
Think they had some luck with tissue but not yet with brain matter
