Paralyzed Mice Move Again With Stem-Cell Therapy

Summary:

Embryonic stem cells have been used to restore limb movement in paralyzed mice, say scientists at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, USA. The embryonic stem cells formed new nerve connections in the paralyzed mice. This research is seen as proof by scientists that one day paralyzed humans will be cured as a result of stem-cell grafts. It may be several years away, but the evidence that it will come is much more compelling now.
