Injecting stem cells into patients’ brains found to be safe and could stop further damage from the disease

The small, early stage trial was only able to assess whether injecting cells directly into the brain was well tolerated by patients, but in tests carried out in the year after treatment, researchers found hints that the cells may have a long-lasting, beneficial impact.
