Journal ArticleDOI

Survival of implanted fetal dopamine cells and neurologic improvement 12 to 46 months after transplantation for Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: Fetal-tissue implants appear to offer long-term clinical benefit to some patients with advanced Parkinson's disease, and both immunosuppressed and nonimmunosuppression patients improved.
Journal ArticleDOI
