Summary:
The Medical College of Georgia reports on research using adult stem cells to treat animals with cerebral palsy:
"Adult stem cell therapy improves recovery of motor function in an animal model for the ischemic brain injury that strikes about 10 percent of babies with cerebral palsy, researchers report. Within two weeks, treated animals were about 20 percent less likely to favor the unaffected side of their bodies and experienced about a 25 percent improvement in balance, compared to untreated controls, Medical College of Georgia researchers said."
