One of the men involved has been released from the hospital and is said to be doing quite fine after having millions of cells introduced into his brain as a state-of-the-art procedure to repair damage. The man is part of a test group [...] New stem cell research performed at Oxford University suggest that skin cells may have the potential to fight against many diseases such as Parkinson’s and conditions such as spinal cord damage. The Oxford University research team announced their findings this week that indicate that skin cells that are manipulated can potentially generate the same brain cells [...] |
