Injecting neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells into rats suffering from Parkinson's-like symptoms allowed the animals to regain movement
They used human embryonic stem cells along with rat astrocytes to produce neurons. Another amazing leap forward in medical reasearch.
Stem cells are the future of modern medicine.
I also hope that the research into using stem cells for spinal cord injuries continues to come along... my cousin had an accident 2 years ago and is now a quadriplegic at age 28.
