Large stem cell grafts could lead to erroneous interpretations of behavioral results?

Nature Medicine volume 13, pages 118–119 (2007)Cite this article

Roy et al. reply:

We thank Christophersen and Brundin for their comments. They expressed two principal concerns: that our behavioral results might not have unequivocally established graft-dependent functional recovery and that our graft volumes might have been excessive relative to the striatal volume. We believe that each of these concerns is based on a misreading of our paper, resulting in a misrepresentation of its data.
