"Stem Cell Therapy Offers Hope for Spinal Cord Injury Recovery"

A phase 1 clinical trial conducted by Mayo Clinic has shown that stem cells derived from patients' own fat may safely improve sensation and movement in individuals with traumatic spinal cord injuries, challenging the belief that such injuries are irreparable. Seven out of ten participants demonstrated measurable improvements, with no serious side effects reported. The study paves the way for larger trials to assess the efficacy and optimal patient profiles for stem cell therapy in spinal cord recovery, offering new hope for innovative treatments in this field.
