is FCTI's Autologous Precursor Stem Cell Therapy "the A N S W E R"??

Poirot:
Thanks, Andy for the post.


CatchR, thanks for the clarification - my own view, based on a smattering of understanding of genetics,  is that autologous stem cell transplant unlikely to work as the stem cells will share the same genetic information as what ails us currently. So, unless the stem cell's genetic information can be manipulated and modified in the lab, and then re-injected, there is no solution.


There are/have been two companies working on the above mentioned solution - take the faulty gene, modify it, and then re-inject using a suitable vehicle. So far, there is only one success story out of France, and even that story has some problems with it.


cheers

Poirot
