But there's heartening news for patients suffering from PD. Jaslok Hospital has announced the launch of a revolutionary mesenchymal stem cell project. "Mesenchymal stem cells are extracted from the patient's bone marrow. They are then transferred to a laboratory, where they are isolated and multiplied. Once they have multiplied, they are implanted into the patient's brain," explained Dr Paresh Doshi, head of the department of functional neurosurgery, Jaslok Hospital, which has tied up with Reliance Life Sciences for this project. "As the cells are from the patient's own bone marrow, there is no potential of rejection," he added. A three-year clinical trial on five select patients will begin soon, Dr Doshi announced. |
