Preliminary Reports of Stereotaxic Stem Cell Transplants in Chronic Stroke Patients

Preclinical studies have suggested that stem cell–based therapies possess the potential to improve stroke outcomes. Recently, the results of two early-stage clinical trials of stem cell therapy for chronic stroke have been published: the United Kingdom–based ReNeuron phase I clinical trial, called “Pilot Investigation of Stem Cells in Stroke” (PISCES, NCT01151124),1Kalladka D Sinden J Pollock K Haig C McLean J Smith W et al.Human neural stem...
