There have been several interesting technical posts recently. Glad to see they are appreciated. Thanks to Barb and all those that search for info and post. I would like to know more about neuroimmunophilins. The ones of interest here are nerve growth hormones available in pill form (Wowzers!!!). Another post was about control of differentiation of stem cells in culture with a proprietary serum free media utilizing growth factors. The posts on Spheramine was encourageing too (dopamine producing cells from the retina, on beads)...though stem cells are potentially a better solution for growth and integration with the brain. Hopefully, non-fetal sources of stem cells will be available soon. All these techniques are synergistic and could come together. > Now is the time for a united front to support the goal for a > cure. > Let's get it together !!! > YES. ............................................................................................
