Recent clinical trials have shown that stem cell therapy holds significant promise in alleviating symptoms of Parkinson's disease. In a small study, researchers transplanted stem cells into the brains of 12 Parkinson’s patients, resulting in notable improvements in motor function and halting disease progression.

Though not involved in the study, Dr. Ann Murray calls the study "an amazing first step." Read more about it at the link in the comments.
