Paralyzed mice regained the ability to walk after stem cells therapy - West: Stem cells therapy gave paralyzed mice the ability to walk and run again. These astonishing results might be the premise for developing new therapies to stop the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) in humans. In a study published in the journal Stem Cell Reports, researchers at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), University of Utah and University of California (UC) Irvine implanted human stem cells into spinal cords of mice crippled by an autoimmune disease similar to multiple sclerosis (MS). The mice regained the ability to walk and run a couple of weeks after the implantation, and they completely recovered over the next several months.
