There's this investigational study showing these patients seem to get some degree of suppression of their Ms. Immunomodulation of their Ms. For some period of time appears to be around 9 months or so with autologous or your own stem cells. I'm not seeing that same improvement with umbilical stem cells, but I haven't had a lot of experience with that.
