Japanese researchers said Friday they have transplanted stem cells into the brain of a patient in the first stage of an innovative trial to cure Parkinson’s disease.

The research team at Kyoto University injected induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) cells — which have the potential to develop into any cell in the body — into the brain of a male patient in his fifties, the university said in a press release.

The man was stable after the operation, which was performed last month, and he will now be monitored for two years, the university added.

The researchers injected 2.4 million iPS cells into the left side of the patient’s brain, in an operation that took about three hours. If no problems are observed in the coming six months, they will implant another 2.4 million cells into the right side.

The iPS cells from healthy donors have been developed into the precursors of dopamine-producing brain cells, which are no longer present in people with Parkinson’s disease. […]

The human trial comes after an earlier trial involving monkeys. […]

iPS cells are created by stimulating mature already-specialized cells back into a juvenile state — basically cloning without the need for an embryo. …

Interesting that the inject them into the more stable masculine logical left hemisphere of the brain before trying the more unstable emotional feminine right hemisphere!!!! Humor intended.

The answer to your question is the epigenetic influence of consciousness on the transcription process.

This is different. These cells have already been started on the process of development in the desired manner.

Exactly as I 'thought'. : )
