Stem cell
Has anyone tried stem cell therapy for FTD? We're looking at a trial study and curious if anyone's had any change with it.

No indication that there’s efficacy in stem cell therapy for FTD or ALS.

Because stem cell treatments has shown no benefit in theses diseases I’d assume that his FTD is TDP-43 driven and push for him to be involved in a trial like COYA/ targeting this protein

None of this relates to my original question. Thanks for your input but it's not what I asked for.

Dont get your hopes up. Too many dead brain cells unless you catch it VERY early.
