Inject germ cells into the brain to cure paralysis due to stroke

Patients with complete paralysis after stroke have been able to move again after being directly injected with germ cells into the brain, according to the Daily Mail.

The object of the trial was that five British patients were completely paralyzed from 6 months to 5 years after a stroke.

Thanks to a new treatment, these patients were able to move their fingers again and could even do simple housework.

The research team led by Professor Keith Muir at Glasglow University (UK) directly injected the stem cells into the brains of patients in the hope that they would become healthy tissues or initiate the recovery process. damaged brain area.

The germ cells used in the experiment were created 10 years ago from the fetal nerve tissue.

This is considered the first study in the world to use stem cells to help patients recover from a stroke.
