Default State-of-play regarding stem cell transplantation for PD
My understanding is that stem cell transplantation for PD is still in the research stage.

There was a podcast on this topic (approx. 27 mins) about 6 months ago, from the World Parkinson Coalition.

There was also a review article on this topic earlier this year.
