Are there any recent updates on Kanwar (PD gloves) and Doc Lopez (Stem cells) ?

Just wondering if anyone has updates on the status of either of the two? Kanwar was the first patient for the Tass gloves and Doc Lopez received stem cell therapy.

This is a presentation from a couple weeks ago but it does not contain a lot of new information other than maybe that Dr. Tass is still working on the gloves with hopes of more clinical trials at Stanford in 2024 but not quite as soon as what we were hearing a few months back.

I find this post useful, I hope that Kanwar can see it and provide us with good news on the use of gloves which, in my opinion, remain the only possible "option" in this desert they call research.

I read this earlier and I thought “desert”. michaeljfox.org/news/bloomb...

So little to show for so much time, effort and money.
