Summary:
Researchers at UC Irvine are attempting to develop treatments using embryonic stem cells from people who suffer such afflictions as spinal cord injuries and Parkinson's disease. This has led some researchers to believe it may be possible to create patient-specific treatments that match their specific genetic make-up, since the cells would likely be accepted by the donor's immune system. The technique has never been achieved in humans.
