Andrew Cassy's journey, prompted by his Parkinson's diagnosis, reflects a growing movement towards patient participation in clinical trials, emphasizing that individuals can contribute to advancing medical research.
Cassy notes, "I had time, something of value that I could give to the process of understanding the disease and finding good treatments," highlighting the importance of patient involvement in research.
The recent clinical trials represent a significant turning point in stem-cell research, with many exploring the safety and regenerative potential of stem cells for debilitating diseases.
Martin Pera states, "The rate of progress has been remarkable. It's just 26 years since we first learnt to culture human stem cells in flasks," illustrating the rapid advancements in the field.
