Stem Cell Research for Parkinson's Disease

 A Parkinson's Disease patient is reporting major improvements in his quality of life following a new stem cell research procedure in which the patient's own adult stem cells were used.  Bhanwarlal Jain says the stem cell treatment has improved his quality of life following the implantation of the stem cells in February 2009.

Unable to Speak from Parkinson's Disease

The complications of Parkinson's disease had been taking their toll on Jain for 12 years.  Finally, he had to stop working and he was unable to talk.  With nothing to lose, Jain then explored a stem cell treatment at Jaslok Hospital in Mumbai, India.  
These days, Jain is able to speak again and was able to elaborate on his stem cell therapy for this story thanks to the stem cell therapy!

Stem Cell Treatment for Parkinson's Disease

1.  Adult Stem Cells Were Removed From Patient's Bone Marrow

2.  Stem Cells Were Then Multiplied In A Lab

3.  Stem Cells Were Then Implanted Into the Patient's Brain Using Stereotactic Surgery

From the stem cell article: Elaborating on the surgery, he said, “Under the influence of local anesthesia, two burr holes are made in the head, through which microscopic amounts of autologous mesenchymal stem cells are injected. About 100 shots of stem cell were injected. As these cells are from the patient’s own bone marrow there is no potential of rejection, and side effects are also negated as they can multiply only for a limited time.”

Dr Paresh Doshi, head of the stereotactic and functional neurosurgery department at the hospital says that Jaslok Hospital and Reliance Life Sciences have partnered for 10 such cases and the results of these will be evaluated over a period of three years. “We are not claiming that we have successfully operated the patient as a thorough evaluation of the patient will be done for 18 months. But Jaslok Hospital is the first one to use stem cell for Parkinson’s disease in a proper clinical setup in the world,”


This is a fantastic story. Michael J Fox, are you reading this? Get this going at your foundation!!
