  A proposed Parkinson's disease treatment from stem cells is on track for an application to be filed with federal regulators around the start of 2015, International Stem Cell Corp
  ...The Loring's group gets its cells from the patients to be treated, "reprogrammed" back to an embryonic-like state and called induced pluripotent stem cells, then differentiated into the neural progenitor cells. That treatment's main advantage is the use of the patients' own or autologous cells, expected to minimize any possible immune reaction.
