When two research teams last year created embryonic-like stem cells that could be ethical alternatives to embryonic stem cell research, pro-life advocates were hopeful about their potential. Now, scientists at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research have used the reprogrammed cells to successfully treat Parkinson's in mice.

Quoted: The brain cells responsible for triggering Parkinson's disease have been identified by scientists who believe the discovery could lead to new ways to treat the condition.
The "mother cells" which have been identified produce and use the chemical dopamine to transmit messages in the brain.

April 9 2008 Results of a new study back up the results from previous studies that show that stem cells taken from a person's skin have the ability to treat Parkinson's disease.
In the latest study to be released in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Cambridge scientists prove that it is indeed possible to reprogram normal skin cells to reduce the symptoms associated with Parkinsons's disease in rats.
