    News Paralysed man walks again - World's first

    I think this is as big as the first heart transplant, if not bigger.

    link:
    http://www.theguardian.com/science/2...eering-surgery

    "The 38-year-old, who is believed to be the first person in the world to recover from complete severing of the spinal nerves, can now walk with a frame and has been able to resume an independent life, even to the extent of driving a car, while sensation has returned to his lower limbs."

                      Its okay, no need to apologise.

                      I should just add. 'Headline news' over here it has been the one of the top news stories on pretty much every bulletin and newspaper yesterday. No refreshing required

                          Right, that explains it better. Must've been hard to miss, in that case.

                            Amidst all the wars and misery the world faces it is heartwarming to read stories like this, kudos to Prof Raismen and the Polish team for bringing hope to millions. The world needs more human beings like these men...

                                  don't tell me, i lived for 3 years about 500 meters from the polish border - and not that far away right now either.

                                  i just posted this because some people always claim that only the US medical system can invent new things

                                    You got it all wrong, man. What they mean is only the US medical system can invent new things AND charge out the ass for them.

                                        February 1, 1961: Till & McCulloch establish the foundation for stem cell science.

                                        Toronto scientists Drs. James Till, a biophysicist, and Ernest McCulloch, a haematologist, published accidental findings in “Radiation Research” that proved the existence of stem cells – cells that can self-renew repeatedly for various uses. Both worked for the Ontario Cancer Institute (OCI) at the time.

                                                        Toronto scientists Drs. James Till, a biophysicist, and Ernest McCulloch, a haematologist, published accidental findings in ?Radiation Research? that proved the existence of stem cells ? cells that can self-renew repeatedly for various uses. Both worked for the Ontario Cancer Institute (OCI) at the time.

                                                        http://www.stemcellhistory.com/stem-...arch-timeline/
                                                        They didn't use stem cells.
