Moein, Many people in India are going for Stem Cell therapy for DMD. I have spoken to a few parents and they are saying they have seen some improvement after Stem Cell therapy. I have planned to do stem cell therapy for my 9 year son in the 3rd week of October. Shall let you the result after that. I am going to Neurogen in Mumbai.

Currently, I am in China. In 2004, China implemented a dmd stem cell therapy clinical trials, but failed. The reason for failure is the gene inside the muscle can not be changed. I think India is the same。I think, the most effective treatment is exon gene therapy。
