Future of Parkinson’s Therapy Might Be in Unfertilized Human Egg Cells, Researchers Say
Unfertilized human egg cells can give rise to so-called parthenogenetic stem cells, having the characteristics of embryonal stem cells but without the ethically debatable use of early embryos. Now, a new study demonstrates that neural stem cells derived from parthenogenetic cells transplanted to non-human primates with Parkinson’s disease improved…
