A California-based company received permission to conduct its first ever trial of stem cell therapy treatment for Parkinson’s disease in Melbourne.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia cleared the International Stem Cell Corporation’s (ISCO) submission to conduct its first trial treatment in twelve patients with Parkinson’s disease. These patients have the illness, which range from moderate to severe case, as per 9News.com. au.
“Currently, there is no cure for PD, which is the second most common neurodegenerative disease and affects over seven million people worldwide,” the statement of the company reads.
The trial will be conducted at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, probably in the first quarter of 2016. Doctors will implant around 30- 70 million neural cells into the brains of the participants.
