There is a similar study being done by hope biosciences. Scroll down to almost bottom to see a list of PD studies. hope.bio/clinical-trials

Yes I looked into their trial but unfortunately I am in California and they are in Texas. Since I work full time it's not feasible for me to go that far.

wouldn't Even though I welcome every good news related to Parkinson's,I am little sceptical about stem therapy for one reason: It does not address the real underlying couse of the condition..So even if you transplant new stem cells into the brain and there is an obvious improvement for the certain period but if you don't change the environment the die off would come Again..

I ask the same question too, I don't know when you were diagnosed, let's say 60, and if treament can last for minimun 10 to 20 yrs and who's know how long? hopefully is ok to do it again, as long as the treatment doesn't make us worse.

I agree that they don't know how long the cells will live, however, if it's 10-15 years and you don't have to have dbs or focused ultrasound I believe it would be worth it.

if it's like this I that would be okey..but if....
