The man from New York who is generally considered the main "expert" in this field stated unequivocally that fetal-cell transplants in PD are "not yet ready for patients". His work proves that the cells actually *do* survive, but they do not help the patient. They actually seem to increase dystonias and dyskinesias. <<<<< Thanks for your respons! I found your posting about the symposium to the list. Hans.
