Injured rats injected with skin-derived stem cells regained mobility and had better walking co-ordination, according to the study published yesterday in the Journal of Neuroscience. The skin-derived stem cells, injected directly into the injured rats' spinal cords, were able to survive in their new location and set off a flurry of activity, helping to heal the cavity in the cord.I wonder if this research will get it's own segment on 60 Minutes like Hans Keirstead's research on rodents with spinal cord injuries using embryonic stem cells.
Yeah, probably not.
