Maybe this belongs in another thread, but we are hearing that the Mayo clinic in Minnesota will be doing a stem cell research study this year, along the lines of a recent study in Israel. No details yet, but we will know more when go to our clinic appointment in March.

Has anyone else heard of this?
 
Yes, i think i do. I contacted the clinic a while ago and this was the reply.. Hopefully we're talking about the same thing:

Thank you for inquiring about Mayo Clinic's ALS stem cell research.
Please view our video regarding Mayo Clinic ALS stem cell research at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gc3alu8tGk

If you are inquiring about Mayo Clinic’s involvement in the Brainstorm NurOwn clinical trial for ALS, this trial is now closed for enrollment. Updates can be viewed at http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT02017912

If you are inquiring about Mayo's current ALS stem cell trial "NCT01609283-a dose escalation safety trial for Intrathecal Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, this trial is now closed for enrollment. Updates can be viewed at http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT01609283

To be placed on the waiting list for future trials, please provide us your full name, date of birth, home address, telephone/cell number and e-mail address in the event we contact you for this study. If you are inquiring on behalf of someone other than yourself, we need to have all of their contact information as well, including their name, date of birth, home address, telephone/cell number and email address in the event we contact them for this study. Thank you for your patience.

If you are interested in having a neurology appointment for a clinical evaluation for ALS (i.e. second opinion regarding ALS diagnosis), please let us know in your email and you will be contacted to arrange for this. Importantly, a neurology appointment does not in any way guarantee enrollment in the ALS clinical trials.

Yes Brainstorm is supposed to be starting phase 3 trials in the second part of 2017. I have not seen a site list but presumably they are being determined so if you were told this by someone in the know at Mayo I would believe it
