Stem cell treatment is fast emerging as cure for several chronic
diseases, especially chronic spinal injuries. Although experts worldwide are
using stem cells from different sources like umbilical cord blood, bone marrow,
fetus for trials, doctors say that those extracted from umbilical cord blood are
very effective.
Scientists at a prominent US university are soon
going to start human trials on chronic spinal injury patients using stem cells
from umbilical cord blood along with Lithium, a common drug for depression and
bipolar disorders.
