This team of cliniciAns + reseachers + patients made scieintific concepts into a reality for patients. This may be the closest we have ever come for a good therapeutic for PD with stem cells, all are waiting for human trials and hoping for FDA approvals.
Other interesting things from my point of view are:, this study would have no sham controls, each patient gets his/her own cells, takes advantage of placebo effect ... I cannot wait to see how clnical trials would go.
And, if they join forces with ceregene another local biotech with gene therapy for nerve gtowth factor delivery, we can say goodbye to our friend PD forever..................
I guess I am dreaming now!
