This is a phase 1 study, so at this point it is just testing safety. However the initial results with this patient are encouraging.
They’re just putting the patient’s own stem cells back in the brain - without addressing the plaques and tau tangles that form as the disease progresses, and yet, he has mild improvement and hasn’t lost further function.
Posting here because it’s stem cells, in the brain, and you know how I feel about that 
Stem cell could help sz too…Am i right sis…??
Rat and mouse studies suggest so.
Too late to help my dad, he died from this in 2013.
Maybe it will be in time help me if I get it.
I dont think dead brain cells is my problem like in alzheimers. I will never have kids cuz this is the type of stuff that leads to hell for future generations.
Just let the ppl die for gods sake
What r u saying esteem…
Maybe u wanna live with diseased brain till ur 120, not me
If it helps…why shouldnt we try…
I predict in the future they will try to make ppl have extremely long lifespans, if this were medieval times i would be close to dead at age 29. I dont want that future, would rather have past. We are blood-thirsty for technology and will stop at nothing until we have exhausted our intelligence.
U might be right

People will have long lifespans because we will be able to fix the things that are wrong with them. Fixing the brain will be no exception. Yeah, it’s more complicated than a liver. That’s why it will take longer.
If only science would go faster… 
Yeah. But the rate of discovery is speeding up.
I really hope so! Let’s pray!
But even if stem cells some day would be available, it could be so expensive I think 
I’ve thought about this lately too. It’s cuz these older ppl are willing to pay to live longer. So if there’s a demand, there’s a supply, cuz someone’s getting rich off it. I think people should not desire to live to 120 because death doesn’t seem like that bad of an idea anyways. Either you go to heaven or you don’t realize anything is my prediction of death.
That’s good!
A progress in medicine is highly welcome!
Schizophrenia involves neurodegeneration. The average schizophrenic brain will lose quite a lot of its grey matter.
Moreover, the abilty of this patient to recover his hippocampal volume to average levels suggests that healing and regenerating the brain is possible.
If they’ve got the treatment, I’ve got the belly fat.
