I'm not sure what are the near term implications on MS, but it seems promising:
Stem Cell Transplantation Treats Brain Injuries in Rats
Rats with brain injury showed great functional recovery after the stem cell treatment. In the study conducted by a team from Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine in Sapporo, Japan, autologous bone marrow stem cells were injected into the carotid artery of the injured rats which helped the cells move right to ...

It is not about MS, but might have an impact on us. I think the story is quite familiar: Quote: Where it gets fun is the arguments that are going to be debated in court: the clinic argues that stem cell therapy is the practice of medicine and isn't FDA jurisdiction but the FDA is saying that stem cells are drugs, which would then have it BE the FDA jurisdiction.

I want to preface this with the fact I recently got engaged to my girlfriend of nine yrs and am in the process of trying to figure out when to get married. The biggest impediment to sealing the deal is this damnedable illness. I have only been diagnosed for a year or so, but have been having some pretty tough relapses over the last year. In light of what I have learned in the last ...

Stem Cell Therapy Promising in Progressive MS http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/757809Results of a small proof-of-concept study hint that autologous mesenchymal stem cells may have neuroprotective effects in multiple sclerosis (MS). The study involved 10 patients with secondary progressive MS and objective evidence of optic nerve involvement resulting from demyelination. Over the course of 6 to 10 months after a single infusion of autologous mesenchymal stem cells in the central nervous system ...

Post subject: Cloned brain cells could help MS, Parkinsons, depression Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2012 12:57 am |

 From the birthplace of Dolly the sheep comes another advancement in cloning, as scientists at Scotland’s University of Edinburgh have reportedly created brain tissue from patients suffering from mental illnesses. According to NewsCore reports, researchers at the university’s Centre for Regenerative Medicine (CRM) have developed a method of taking a patient’s skin sample, turning it into stem cells, and then directing them to grow into brain cells. They then study those man-made brain cells ...

Post subject: Skin transformed into brain cells Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2012 12:18 am |

 Skin cells have been converted directly into cells which develop into the main components of the brain, by researchers studying mice in California. The experiment, reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, skipped the middle "stem cell" stage in the process. The researchers said they were "thrilled" at the potential medical uses. Far more tests are needed before the technique could be used on human skin....Read More - ...
