Stem Cell Treatment for Spinal Cord Injury
What is Spinal Cord Injury? Spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when the spinal cord becomes damaged, most frequently, when motor car accidents, falls, acts of violence, or athletic injuries fracture ligaments and crush or transect the spinal cord.
Stem cell tested for spinal cord injuries
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration last week gave consent to Newark biotech business to begin testing an experimental stem cell treatment in individuals who have suffered spinal cord injuries – a movement that scientists and patients alike expect will accelerate study in a field that has been dangerously slow to demonstrate results.
