Abstract
In animal models, immature neural precursors can replace lest neurons, rest ore function and promote brain self-repair Clinical trials in Parkinson's d isease suggest that similar approaches may also work in the diseased human brain. But how realistic is it that cell replacement can he developed into effective clinical therapy?
