But those experiments primarily used one specific kind of cell, Kalinke says.

This result did not persist beyond a few weeks, and new safety studies indicated that gene transfer probably does not occur in the sperm cells.

... Dryer says. In some of these cases, they may have halted the progression of the disease, but the patients symptoms didnt get better. Although the nerve cells lived, they may have reverted to an immature state. Perhaps the cells need some other growth factor to jump-start them back into electrical action.
