August 10th, 2008 Yet once again Indian stem cell scientist Dr Geeta Shroff has managed to come in the headlines by treating three patients from Aspen having spinal cord injury. This happens when the Indian doctor achieved success in treating the patients who traveled all the way from Aspen to India.

July 18th, 2009 This is a story awe-inspiring who are still in dilemma whether to undergo a stem cell therapy in order to repair their spinal cord injury. Mark Palmer who had been a paralysed since 2003, is now enjoying his vacation in Costa Rica with his wife, after undergoing a stem cell treatment.

February 12th, 2009 Not a matter to ignore or to weigh in light scales. Any serious injury  to the spines can lead to permanent damage.

August 22nd, 2008 Patients suffering from spinal cord injury can now hope for more advanced treatment as the scientists of The Research Consortium on Spinal Cord of Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation are working hard to achieve the mission of optimizing intrinsic capacity of adult nervous system so that it can repair and remodel itself after injury. Christopher and Dana Reeve foundation, who has dedicated itself in curing spinal cord injuries, has recruited Samuel L Pfaff, Ph.D, a stem cell neurobiologist and Fred H.

May 7th, 2008 A new stem cell therapy is introduced for the spinal cord injuries known as Mesenchymal Stem cell (MSC) therapy. This research was conducted by a team of doctors at Stempeutics Research, Bangalore.

July 26th, 2006 Transplanting human embryonic stem cells does not cause harm and can be used as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of acute spinal cord injury, according to a recent study by UC Irvine researchers. UCI neurobiologist Hans Keirstead and colleagues at the Reeve-Irvine Research Center found that rats with either mild or severe spinal cord injuries that were transplanted with a treatment derived from human embryonic stem cells suffered no visible injury or ill effects as a result of the treatment itself.

July 22nd, 2008 Now people suffering from Spinal Cord injury could avail a new non-surgical therapy which will help them to recover faster. Kostantinos Meletis, a postdoctoral fellow at the Picower Institute, and colleagues at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden developed an innovating non-surgical treatment for the debilitating spinal cord injuries with the help of spinal cord stem cells.

June 15th, 2009 Once again a 29 years old man who had severe injury in the upper cervical cord in a road accident (two years ago) achieved significant improvement after having successful stem cell therapy at the Salem Manipal Hospital, India. The young Indian man after a car accident lost all sensations, the injury damaged mainly the C3-C4 area of cervical cord that causes loss of bladder functions and control, he lost all feelings and sensations, and unable to walk or grab anything, he also feels sever weakness in limbs.
