SUNDAY, April 6 (HealthDay News) -- Current therapies using stem cell transplants in the brains of patients with Parkinson's disease may not work long-term, because the disease is an ongoing process that continually causes damage, new findings suggest.

Quoted: New studies in the journal Nature Medicine show that brain cell transplants may be somewhat beneficial, but the results may not be long-term. The studies may have increased optimism, but they seem to have also raised questions.

Quoted: "Mother cells" which produce the neurons affected by Parkinson's disease have been identified by scientists, according to new research published in the journal Glia. The new discovery could pave the way for future treatments for the disease, including the possibility of growing new neurons, and the cells which support them, in the lab. Scientists hope these could then be transplanted into patients to counteract the damage caused by Parkinson's.
