The following from INFOBEAT this morning:
*** Cloned brain cells help Parkinson's patients
Researchers said Monday they had created a possible new source for
treating Parkinson's patients - the brain cells of cloned cattle.
Brain cells from cattle fetuses were genetically engineered, then
cloned and injected into rats with Parkinson's disease. The treatment
seemed to reduce the symptoms in the rats, the researchers reported
in the journal Nature Medicine. They said they hoped the technique
could one day be used in people. The scientists' approach combined
three new and controversial technologies - cloning, genetic
engineering, and the use of fetal brain cells to treat Parkinson's.

They are still working for a cure!.....Best wishes....Jack
