Washington –With the help of cloned embryonic stem cells, researchers cured the Parkinson’s disease in mice.They told that cloned cells worked effectively than ordinary cells.The scientists were working hard to establish that it is possible to create embryonic stem cells using cloning technique and it can be employed in providing a suitable treatment for Parkinson’s disease.The researchers found that stem cells cloned from a mouse’s own body were less troublesome to its body than cloned cells taken from other mice.The research proves that this technique could be helpful one day for people suffering from this disease.

“It confirmed what we alleged all along — that cloned embryonic stem cells performs better,” said Viviane Tabar of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Institute in New York.

In Parkinson’s disease, the nerve cells in brain which controls muscle movement either die or become weakened.The mice which were given the mismatched brain cells performed less effectively than the mice given cells from their own clones, said the researchers.
