Scientists at The Russian State Medical University have had incredible results using stem cells to treat spinal injuries..the Scientists used 60 rats {poor devils} 24 were treated with a polymer gel containing stem cells, the 2nd group were injected with just the gel and the 3rd left intact with no surgery.The stem cell treated rats showed remarkable results they could bend their rear paws and even clear obstacles..while some only achieved involuntary movements.All these facts proved that stem cells had replaced the dead spinal cells .As a result scientists obtained the firm evidence in opposition with those specialists,who criticise and reject the idea using stem cells in medicine.

Such sceptical opinions are easy to understand modern science does not know how the cells work and their influence on a human organisim.6 spinal patients at 1 of Russia's private clinics agreed to participate in an experiment, in which stem cells were injected in to the injured spinal area positive results were registered in 5 of the patients they could feel their legs and pelvic organs retrieved their function .The operation became very successful for 1 young paraplegic man, who hadnt moved his legs in several years.He began to wiggle his toes 2 months after the operation he can now stand and move around with support gear.The accomplishment is by no means a miracle but a step towards helping people to stand and walk.
