“It’s a unique system, it’s a restorative system, it will actually repair the brain,” remarked Dr. Isacson. Using one of a kind instrumentation, the collaboration’s focus will be on stem-cell based therapy that when implanted in the brain helps to reconstruct its circuitry.

“It’s kind’ve a one shot deal once we have the transplant implanted in the right place, the cells will do the rest of the work and actually reconnect with the rest of the cells of the brain and improve function,” said Dr. Ivar Mendez.

According to Dr. Isacson, the procedure will not be a cure-all for the disease but patients should see improved function.
