“Primum non nocerum” (first do no harm)
Our ALS team recently presented a panel on neural cell therapy transplantation at a Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine conference in Detroit. We are hoping to post access to the tape of the presentation in the not too distant future on our web site. I believe it offers a fascinating look into the science and practical medical issues involved in treating diseases of the brain and spinal cord with cell therapy, and when it is available I recommend that anyone with an interest view it. One of the surprises to most in the audience though, was the presentation of Dr. Jonathan Glass, our site Principle Investigator at Emory.Hope is like a road in the country

18 Years Ago Today
“The Road goes ever on and on…”
JRR Tolkien
Eighteen years ago, this night, January 20th, I sat in a chair in Children’s Hospital in Washington DC and watched my son, then 4, in the bed, wires protruding from every directions in and out of him, his breathing barely perceptible. He was having a very difficult recovery from an 18 hour brain surgery several weeks before to remove a grapefruit size brain tumor. He did recover, and we know how blessed we have been because of that. The date sticks in my mind because it is my wife’s birthday.
