Does stem cells "cure" cerebral palsy?

Answer 1

On Fri 30 Sep 2005 in Georgia, researchers reported that “Adult stem cell therapy quickly and significantly improves recovery of motor function in an animal model for the ischemic brain injury that occurs in about 10 percent of babies with cerebral palsy”. This bodes well for future implementation with humans. However, it should be noted that success with the animal model, does not imply that there will be success with humans. This does give hope that methods will be found that will eventually prove advantageous in the human condition of cerebral palsy, which at present has no “cure”.

Not yet. Stem cells haven't cured anything in clinical practice yet. It will likely be several years before they are approved to treat even "easy" diseases like diabetes and Perkinson's)

They may someday, like all other diseases they may help many sufferers with diseases but, until the Federal Government releases the work for these studies, like they did in Germany and France, we're, in the United States, far behind the Europeon countries. In the future we'll be buying there products from them at high prices because our own government was so naive.
