Brief Summary:
The purpose of this Phase Ib study is to determine if "Human Central Nervous System Stem Cells"(HuCNS-SC) is safe to be transplanted in subjects with infantile and late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. The study will also measure post-transplantation disease progression.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Biological: HuCNS-SC Phase 1

Detailed Description:
Participation in this study will involve screening assessments, surgery to implant HuCNS-SC, medication to suppress immune system and a series of follow-up assessments.
