Physiology & Medicine / Brain damage - stem cell therapy
« on: 22/02/2003 11:12:48 »
Hi everybody,
perhaps you can help me find the right information sources:
I'm searching for information about stem cell therapy in cases of brain damage by means of
· Who's doing clinical research & development for these cases (institutes, hospitals, universities)
· Are there any "projects" especially with adult stem cells currently conducted
· Is a kind of stem cell therapy established or is it just in an experimental status
The reason why I am searching is primarily a family case: my father is currently recovering from a pulmonary embolism and has a serious brain damage. He's not in coma, because he opens his eyes and he's reacting on touches, light and cold/heat, but he can't move. Currently, he is stable concerning his blood circuit and organ functionality.
I would appreciate, if you could help me with some addresses, links or contact persons? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Birgit
