Paralyzed Man Walks Again After Cell Transplant
(BBC) – A paralyzed man has been able to walk again after a pioneering therapy that involved transplanting cells from his nasal cavity into his spinal cord.
Darek Fidyka, who was paralysed from the chest down in a knife attack in 2010, can now walk using a frame.
The treatment, a world first, was carried out by surgeons in Poland in collaboration with scientists in London.
Details of the research are published in the journal Cell Transplantation.
BBC One’s Panorama programme had unique access to the project and spent a year charting the patient’s rehabilitation.
