Cloning will help in Parkinson's disease

Therapeutic cloning has been successfully used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease in mice, reported U.S. researchers. The results showed that to date this is the best proof that this controversial technique could one day help treat people with Parkinson's disease. According to scientists, this is the first time that the animal organism responds successfully their own cloned cells. During Parkinson neurons disturbed brain responsible for the movement of the muscles. These cells produce dopamine, an important substance that promotes announced a coordinated function of muscles and movement. In therapeutic cloning, the scientists injected a cell nucleus into an egg with a remote kernel. The cells will develop as embryos, may be extracted from which stem cells and used in the treatment. In this experiment, the cells were transformed into dopamine-producing neurons in the missing cells in Parkinson's disease. The mice that received neurons own cloned cells, it was observed significant reduction of symptoms. But when the mice, the neurons that are not genetically identical cells were transplanted, the cells did not survive, and the mouse is not restored. According to researchers, the treatment is to be effective, as originally cloned animal gets its own cells and immune system occurs rejection.
