🧠🌱 Stem cells show promise for Parkinson’s

Two new trials safely transplanted dopamine-producing neurons into the brains of people with Parkinson’s – easing tremors for some.

A cautious but hopeful step toward regenerative treatment

So excited! We received a pilot grant to study umbilical cord #stemcells from infants with sex chromosome aneuploidy.

After 9 months of IRB, developing instructions for parent-led collection, consenting, and waiting for birth… we received our first cord in the mail today. Let’s culture! 🧪
