Episode Summary

https://www.lydianclinic.com/blog/stem-cell-therapy-slow-neurodegeneration/Over 11 million people worldwide live with Parkinson's, yet current drugs only mask symptoms. Could stem cells actually repair damage instead? A regenerative medicine researcher reveals which cell type shows the most promise - and why hope still requires patience.

Episode Notes

[thoughtful] Here's something that stopped me cold: more than 11 million people worldwide are living with Parkinson's disease, and the medications we have today don't reverse a single bit of the damage. They just ease the symptoms. So today we're asking, can stem cell therapy actually offer something more? Have you ever wondered what it would take to actually slow a disease like this down, not just mask it? To help us dig into that, I'm joined by a researcher who specializes in regenerative medicine and neurodegenerative disease. Welcome to the show.
