In an amazing breakthrough a 38 year old Bulgarian who suffered complete severing of the spinal cord can now walk with a frame , resume an independent life and drive a car after sensation was returned to his lower limbs.
Nerve supporting cells taken from his nose created pathways for connecting tissue to grow back.
The technique was developed by a team at UCL's Institute of Neurology and the operation was carried out by a Polish team led by a top spinal cord expert at Wroclaw Medical University .
Definitely a game changer this one.

A 'good news' story for a change and whilst it's not a 'stem cell' technique,let's not forget that, as a rule,American Republicans are opposed to such advancements in medicine.
