Treating Parkinson's with stem cells

Major step in treating Parkinso's with stem cell transformation. Previous difficulties in transforming stem cells into neurons, which are killed off when Parkinson's disease strike. have now beed resolved. Testing on monkeys has shown the cells not only survived and function normally but begin to reverse the process of poor movement problems. Now the prospect of transplanting freshly grown dopamine producing cells into human patients to treat the disease has been significantly raised.
Stem cell therapy may still be some way off. However, this study has shown for the first time that it is possible to transplant nerve cells that work from human stem cells.

Above is part of a story from Digital Journal Nov 7, 2011 by Kev Hedges.

Looks like the market will be down big. Buy a few shares from your wish list. If Geron goes under $2.20 will buy a few $3.00 calls. Not sure what month.

Good luck in this rigged casino,
