ISTANBUL - The researchers, "taken from the patient's own marrow cells are injected into the brain and spinal cord disease, and even return it to slow down the damage?" looking for the answer to the question. Trial process, from various European countries will participate in 150 MS patients.

Stem cells taken from bone marrow of patients, the laboratory will be magnified and re-injected into the patient's bloodstream to be. Stem cells will repair the damage to the brain ilerleyeceği and MS is expected.

From the University of London, Imperial College Paolo Muraro, "Stem cell therapy may be an effective laboratory evidence is very strong on." he said.

The MS Society, the UK provider of research funding in the yet unproven, it works also expressed concerns regarding the provision of access to stem cell therapy.
