Summary:
Stem cells taken from mouse embryos have helped paralyzed rats move again, researchers said on Monday. The study was the best evidence so far that controversial embryonic stem cells might be used to treat people with spinal cord and other traumatic injuries, the researchers said.
Commentary: Hopefully this study will lead to effective treatments for spinal cord injuries in humans and be replicated enough to benefit a diverse population of spinal cord-injured patients.
