In a letter dated 29/5/19, this charity states: “Primarily we are currently funding a portfolio of clinical trials of drugs with the potential to slow down stop or even reverse the progression of Parkinson’s…We do also support work with stem cells as we view this as a Parkinson’s reversal strategy. Current research with stem cells is focusing on taking skin cells that have been donated by people turning them into stem cells called pluripotent stem cells which are being transplanted into people living with Parkinson’s in Japan.”
The CPT does seem to have funded research using human embryonic stem cells in the past – https://www.cureparkinsons.org.uk/News/stem-cell-study-paves-the-way-for-pd-patient-therapies.
