BBC NEWS | Health | MS stem-cell treatment 'success'
Stem-cell transplants may control and even reverse multiple sclerosis symptoms if done early enough, a small study has suggested.

And 81% improved by at least one point on a scale of neurological disability, The Lancet Neurology reported.
Further tests are now planned, and a UK expert called the work "encouraging".
