Scientists have seen promise with a new fat derived stem cell for the treatment of multiple Scerlosis. Three patients were injected and all three showed dramatic improvement, including; session of seizures, walking, and cycling after treatment. This science is still in its infancy, time is yet to tell if this solves problems or creates new ones. I would be great to see a cure for some of the major diseases.
Scientists have been able to reverse the symptoms of multiple sclerosis using stem cells from patients' own body fat.

Some have been left free from seizures and better able to walk after the treatment.Researchers said that the results suggest that the "very simple" injection of their own cells can stimulate the regrowth of tissue damaged by the progression of the disease.

I am on a list for a study in Ohio for this kind of therapy. I have heard and read nothing but good about it.
