Cell replacement therapies for central nervous system disorders

A Björklund et al. Nat Neurosci. 2000 Jun.

Clinical trials in Parkinson's disease suggest that similar approaches may also work in the diseased human brain. But how realistic is it that cell replacement can be developed into effective clinical therapy?
