Though these articles concern ALS, if effective the technique will also be used for Parkinson's disease. At the moment they succesfully did a clinical phase I trial. It seems to be a safe method. This is good. They also claimed that their ALS patients improved; they improved swallowing, breathing and muscular power.

What I like about their way of working is that they will adopt a very agressive strategy. If this works, they expect this on the market within the coming 3 years.

This is their website. Basically they insert stem cells that secrete neurotrophic factors. I am really curious to see more results. This is maybe one of the most promising techniques existing at the moment.
