Summary:
The Washington Post reports on the results of a new experiment using human fetal stem cells to treat spinal cord injuries in mice:
"Mice with severe spinal cord injuries regained much of their ability to walk normally after getting injections of stem cells taken from the brains of human fetuses. The Research tracked mice injected with a kind of human stem cells called neurospheres. They are the laboratory-grown progeny of human cells retrieved from the brains of 16- to 18-week aborted fetuses."
