seems there has been some success using adult stem cells extracted from one's olafactory stem cells so you'd think this process should have some success . the irony is this portugese doctor developed the procedure using his own money, i believe he received no govt/business money while u.s. researchers spent millions and were still working with mice when he did his 1st human operation.

Interesting. I was referring to ESCT injected in the spinal cord of a newly paralyzed person done in October in Atlanta. So far have not heard any update on the progress made.
