Success in stem cell treatment for paralysis

In other stem cell news, a young man from Alabama who participated in the first clinical trial for hESC treatment after being partially paralyzed by a car accident seven months ago has regained feeling in his legs, The Orange County Register reports. The treatment involved the injection of neural cells programmed from embryonic stem cells. Although his case remains anecdotal, this may mark the first successful stem cell treatment of paralysis.
