Japanese researchers' breakthrough stem cell treatment helps paralyzed man stand again
Wednesday, 2 April 2025 () Scientists at Japan's Keio University have pioneered a stem cell therapy that enables paralyzed individuals to regain motor function. This groundbreaking treatment using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) has already allowed one man to stand again. The study involved transplanting 2 million iPSC-derived cells into patients, showing promising results for future spinal cord injury treatments.
