Another scientific miracle has been achieved. Scientists at KO University, Japan have found Stem cell treatment Which can cure spinal injuries. Said that the first clinical study of its kind, this stem cell treatment has helped a paralyzed person to stand up again.
Japan Times said, “There is no effective treatment for paralysis due to severe spinal injuries, which affect more than 150,000 patients in Japan alone, with 5,000 new cases every year,” Japan Times said.
Researchers at KO University are using their studies Inspired pluripotent stem cell (IP), which can later be motivated to mature in different types of cells. Researchers have stated that this was the first case in the world in which a treatment using induced pluripotent stem cells, or cells obtained from IPSCs helps improve the symptoms of patients with spinal injuries.
The paralyzed man gained his ability to stand again
According to Japan NHK, an elderly man who was injured in an accident, was allegedly able to stand without support and started practicing to walk. The patient’s motor function was improved up to a higher level of D to a higher level of D to a higher level of D, up to a higher level of E.
Another patient’s motor function score was reportedly two rank. The patient is still unable to stand, but was able to eat alone. The remaining two patients showed no motor functional recovery.
In clinical studies, the team implanted 2 million IPSC derived cells in four patients, unable to move due to spinal injuries and lost sensation. A year later, the degree of motor function recovery was examined.
Researchers said that four patients did not develop any serious health problem. Patients with spinal cord injuries sometimes improve their motor function through rehabilitation. But only 10 percent of them see the recovery of two levels from the lowest rank of only A.
Two out of four patients recovered some motor functions, and were able to stand using a support mechanism after a single rehabilitation, scientists have told the media.
Japan has about 5,000 new cases of spinal injuries every year. Researchers said that they plan to conduct a clinical test to obtain government approval for treatment.
