Adult stem cells to treat spinal injuries in Australia
In Melbourne, Australia, adult stem cells will be used in a clinical study to see how effective they are at treating spinal injuries.
SPINAL cord injury sufferers have been given fresh hope of improved movement with the first Australian trial of a new adult stem cell treatment.
The trial will be conducted at a new dedicated spinal cord laboratory at Melbourne’s St Vincent’s Hospital, the first of its kind in Australia to co-ordinate national and international research and apply it to patients.
