Free Online Medical News at Online Health Expert: Human Embryonic Stem Cells Used to Treat Parkinson Disease in Mice, Rats and Rhesus Monkeys.

Astudy published in the journal Nature descibes how scientists were able to differentiate human embryonic stem cells into dopamine-producing neurons and transplant them into lab mice, rats and rhesus mokeys' brains and were able to treat their Parkinson symptoms over a period of months.
