Seems the use of stem cells is becoming more prevalent as time goes by... although an American company the procedure was performed by an Australian subsidiary of International Stem Corp and done right here in our backyard - Melbourne

Parkinson's treatment made from stem cells given to 10th patient
Bradley J. FikesContact Reporter
International Stem Cell Corp. has given its Parkinson’s disease therapy to the 10th patient in an Australian clinical trial, the Carlsbadcompany said earlier this month.

The patient received brain cells derived from the company’s proprietary stem cell product, introduced into the brain. The surgery was performed at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, where a subsidiary is conducting the trial.

While similar transplants have been performed using fetal brain cells, International Stem Cell uses its own proprietary cells. So patients getting this experimental therapy are being carefully examined for any dangerous side effects.

The operation proceeded without complications,the company said in an Oct. 8 statement.

Summit For Stem Cell, is attempting a somewhat similar therapy. One major difference is that the cells are derived from the patients to be treated, which makes them immune-compatible. These are grown into stem cells, then those cells are converted into dopamine-making neurons. Only these dopamine-making cells are transplanted.
