I recently received an email from Summit for Stem Cell Foundation which contained a great summary of legitimate stem cell research to combat Parkinson's Disease throughout the world. Here it is:
Roger Barker, United Kingdom. (2018 – ongoing.)
Fetal tissue transplants for Parkinson’s disease.
9 patients have received the transplants. Status unknown.
Jun Takahashi, Japan. (Sept. 2018 – ongoing.)
Allogeneic pluripotent stem cell-derived dopamine neuron transplant for Parkinson’s disease.
2 patients have received the cells. Both patients are doing well.
Malin Parmer, Sweden.
Embryonic stem cell-derived dopamine neuron transplant for Parkinson’s disease.
No patients have received any cells at this time.
Lorenz Studer, (NY) United States.
Embryonic stem cell-derived dopamine neuron transplant for Parkinson’s disease. Initializing a similar project using iPSCs.
No patients have received any cells at this time.
Jeanne Loring, (CA) United States.
Autologous iPSC-derived dopamine neuron transplant for Parkinson’s disease.
No patients have received any cells at this time.
Clinical Trials pending: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we cannot speculate on when clinical trials will commence. As of Feb. 2020, clinical trials were anticipated to begin sometime in 2021.
