Richard, I've read that MS is due to the failure of the normal BBBarrier to exclude the WBCells, and hence immune responses, from the CNS: aspin.asu.edu
Likewise, apparently rejection moderated by the immune system was not the factor limiting the success of fetal pig neurons engrafting when transplanted to human brains:
med.harvard.edu
So, if pig neurons can learn to coexist when transplanted to the human brain, shouldn't we also expect neural stem cells transplanted from another human to be accepted at least as well? Only conjectures on my part.
