maryse my take was if the cause of PD is not addressed and treated, cell replacement of any kind, adult or embryonic, is only going to provide temporary relief. For injury like spinal cord injury, cell replacement may be enough. But what do I know? I think I'll contact my former student who is a PD researcher at U of Pittsburg. Her field of expertise is cell death.
