has glosseng: Fetal tissue implant or fetal cell therapy is an experimental medical therapy where researchers implant tissue from a fetus to a patient for treatment of disease.

This therapy is also being investigated for treatment of Alzheimers disease and Huntingtons disease. Fetal tissue is unique since it is fast growing and has a lower possibility of rejection from the hosts immune system than adult cells.
