I know that dyskinesia is the big problem with fetal cells and I remember the same problem with pig cells. At any rate, it is my understanding that the procedure is no longer done. The problem with any neuro cell transplants is that no one has any idea what the results are going to be. Cells will multiply or die according to variables that cannot be determined in the laboratory.

Someone here reported many years after having them inserted ( TR7driver) but I don´t remember his saying he had dyskinesias. I don´t bet on DBS for it is too empirical. maryse On Tue, Jun 10, 2014 at 3:41 PM, Mary Ann Ryan <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > My understanding was that the pig cells were not successful in the > long term and caused increased dyskinesia - which has been the problem > with transplanted neuro cells.
