British patients are set to take part in a pioneering stem cell trial which experts hope will transform the lives of people with Parkinson’s.
Their brains will be infused with millions of the cells in a trial aimed at demonstrating if the technique can slow, stop or even reverse the course of the devastating condition.
Eight patients - four Britons and four Swedes - will have the treatment in the coming weeks at a hospital in Lund, southern Sweden.
