A method using stem cells for spinal injuries has been accelerated from animals to human trials in Japan. This could yield very promising results.
Stem cells are potentially the nirvana for tissue rejuvenation and repair.

They might change their mind if it happened to them but until then they will oppose it. We are loosing the lead in so many areas because of the republican opposition to science and medicine. They are guilty of a crime against humanity in this matter.

This is a huge win if they can get it perfected. Could mean all kinds of things for betterment of a lot of lives.

It's certainly worth exploring as long as preliminary results aren't used to exploit desperate and vulnerable people. I wonder what are the potential side effects.

I doubt the vulnerable would be exploited here. This is Japan.
@Lukian But the ideas spread and, often, positive indications are hailed long before practical applications are proven. As you say, Japan is not likely to exploit vulnerable people with less than effective stem cell treatments. It does happen in Mexico, though, from what I overheard in my eye care clinic.
