at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan, Italy, and his colleagues extracted neural stem cells from a 10 to 12-week-old fetus after it had been aborted voluntarily by its mother, who donated the fetus to scientific research.
The severity of the participants’ MS meant they were all bedridden before the experiment, says Gianvito.The trial primarily looked at safety, with no serious, treatment-related adverse events reported over the two-year follow-up period. Three months after the injection, the participants had another lumbar puncture. Results suggest that all the participants had increased levels of anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective molecules in their cerebrospinal fluid.
