Wayne State Study Shows Adult Stem Cell Grafts Help Paralyzed

A new study by a Wayne State University School of Medicine researcher details the outcome of adult stem cell grafts in spinal cord injuries and how the procedure led to increased mobility and quality of life for patients. The process involves the use of adult stem-like progenitor cells in the patient’s own nasal tissue. The use of a person’s own stem cells lessens the problems of rejection, tumor formation, and disease transmission. WWJ
