may 2013 news, "Glasgow stroke stem cell trial shows promise"
thought this might be relevant in that the EU allowed stem cells to be implanted in the brain.

lurking, this is all good news so far!
1. if there were serious side affects such as cancer, stem cells turning into cell types other than neurons, this might pause other brain stem cell research.
i'm not going to worry about the new implanted cells eventually becoming "diseased". researchers are also working on neuroprotection. new cells might be the only "cure" for advanced pd'ers and researchers are playing catchup after BUSH set stem cell research back a decade. remember dennis turner's autologous stem cell implant back in 2000? one patient was the total trial!!! so it could have been a sham but if the affect was real, turner got a few good years. http://www.stemcellresearch.org/testimony/turner.htm |

Turner's story is
Undoubtably true imho, i remember following his blog, far too detailed to be fake. The story of levesque/turner is one of missed promise and funding. Neurologix appear to be following the same route.

We are at least ten years behind......
And a day late and a dollar short of reaching the holy grail of synthetic DA neuronal transplantation.. It could be a reality, the real solution... But.....
