Cell Transplant: Paralyzed Man walks Again
A paralyzed man has been able to walk again after surgeons transplanted
cells from his nasal cavity into his spinal cord in a pioneering
therapy, giving hope to cripples all over the world of using their feet
once again. The BBC reports.
Excerpt:
Darek Fidyka, who was paralyzed from the chest down in a knife attack in 2010, can now walk using a frame.
The treatment, a world first, was carried out by surgeons in Poland in collaboration with scientists in London.
