Previous research in rodent disease models has shown that transplanted oligodendrocyte precursor cells derived from embryonic stem cells and from human fetal brain tissue can successfully create myelin sheaths around nerve cells, sometimes leading to dramatic improvements in symptoms.

The debate might eventually be a moot point, as researchers continue to make convincing headway with induced pluripotent cells, which seem to have all the properties of embryonic stem cells but which are created from adult cells.
