We have this guy at Stanford via Germany to thank for this. They have a 'dream team' working only on this conversion. http://med.stanford.edu/ism/2011/may/wernig.html What is even better (from scientist and potential PWP view) is that these same skin cells may help both those of us with established PD and people who are pre-motor symptom- that is a huge step forward. Once skin cells are converted to dopamine they exhibit key cellular changes of PD, so they can bypass animal models which are less than ideal and observe what happens in a living patient. http://med.stanford.edu/ism/2011/march/parkinsons.html As Ol' CS says, we are sooo very close- we all just need to hang on.

Well, I also have the feeling we really are getting closer and closer to the cure. I have the feeling at this moment PD is understood quite enough to find a cure for it. Research is also going faster and faster. And this latest research about stem cells will make the research go even faster and more efficient.
