No person could be treated by his or her own genetically identical ESCs, because they are long gone. And, using ESCs from a genetically dissimilar embryo would not only impart risk for immune rejection and require immunosuppression but also would raise ethics more »

For the first time scientists have shown that brain stem cells are immune privileged, which means that they are invisible to a transplant recipient's immune system and do not trigger the immune system to reject them. These results, published in an issue of Stem Cells, indicate that using central nervous system more »
