Another scientific marvel has been achieved. Scientists from Japan's Keio University have found a stem cell treatment that can treat spinal cord injuries. Said to be the first clinical study of its kind, this stem cell treatment has helped a paralyzed man stand again.
"There is currently no effective treatment for paralysis caused by serious spinal cord injuries, which affect more than 150,000 patients in Japan alone, with 5,000 new cases each year," The Japan Times reported.
