Oh; on the other hand mesenchymal cells do differentiate and are in the bone marrow prep . so these guys may have a success story!
anyway, this is nt much different than what is being done in Germany (Xcell center??) same story, most likely a transient benefit but I bet a lot cheaper than in Germany!!
If I beleived in the science behind these experimental therapies I would sign up for it!
