Two new studies suggest that Parkinson's disease can potentially be treated with stem cells placed in a patient's brain.

Two new studies suggest that Parkinson's disease can potentially be treated with stem cells placed in a patient's brain.

This condition gradually destroys neurons that produce dopamine, a chemical that helps control movement. While current ...
