retinal cell injections
 

anyone know the latest on this? what is the difference between what Spheramine is doing and what they are doing in China where they don't ensphere the cells? i know that in China they do a lot more than just inject the retinal cells....they have a whole program with zillions of UBCs and physical therapy; the program lasts at least a month. it is difficult, however, to get the latest on the people who have had them there.
one good thing about using the ensphering gel, i guess, is that they can track the cells later. i have had at least two doctors (not neuro docs) say they would be concerned that the cells would migrate so that is why i want to know. if they can track the cells, surely it would be known if they migrate. from what i understand, the transplanted cells do not become a part of the brain tissue but just lie there pumping out dopamine for about three years.

anyone there had the cells and can tell about the results?

Hi, Scrumptious! :Wave-Hello: Welcome to NeuroTalk!

I'm afraid that I don't have the first bloody clue about this!:o Stand by, more of our friends will be along and hopefully have some suggestions for you.:)
