Paralysed patients could regain movement and sensation, stem cell treatment trial finds

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Paralysed patients can regain movement and a sense of feeling after being injected with stem cells grown from their own fat, scientists have found.

The research into new experimental therapy has shown that patients who had suffered devastating injuries after car accidents and falls showed a number of improvements.

The treatment involves taking fat from the abdomen or thigh and removing the mesenchymal stem cells – a special type of stem cell that can hone in on injuries, and encourage repair and regeneration.
