Paralyzed Man Walks Again After Stem Cell Injection
2025-03-27

A groundbreaking trial in Japan has shown promising results in treating paralysis using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neural stem cells. One of four participants, a paralyzed man, can now stand independently after receiving injections. Another participant regained some arm and leg movement, while two others showed no significant improvement. While the results, which haven't undergone peer review, suggest the treatment is safe, larger trials are needed to confirm its efficacy and rule out natural recovery.
