Default More Stem Cell News - Researchers closer to first stem cell transplants for PD
A major breakthrough in the development of stem cell-derived brain cells has put researchers on a firm path towards the first ever stem cell transplantations in people with Parkinson's disease. A new study presents the next generation of transplantable dopamine neurons produced from stem cells. These cells carry the same properties as the dopamine neurons found in the human brain.

Hi all,

In my personal ranking, the first place is for this very interesting news, and achievable in a short time, I hope (Lund University).

In second place : M3 Biotechnology compound (called MM-201).

The article mentions some "restrictions" that will have to be overcome, including scarcity of the cells since they are fetal stem cells, but it does not mention how that is going to happen. This is great news, sure, but unless they are going to mass produce these cells somehow, I do not see that there will be enough of these fetal stem cells to treat everyone who needs them. Am I wrong, missing something?

lurking, my interpretation is LUND is developing stem cells as an alternative to fetal cells.

Default By the time we see it; it won't matter.
Great hope for the future, I dare say that anyone who currently has the disease won't see this treatment. Not withstanding the FDA and innumerable obstacles if the science were to go unimpeded, it's too far away.
