This is a somewhat dated article from the Guardian detailing a new procedure also covered on the Science Chanel's Beyond tomorrow this week where stem cells found in the nose are transplanted in spinal tissue to generate recovery. Though not a complete cure with the aid of two years of intense therapy it has produced results. Allowing those treated to regain simple bodily functions we all take for granted like bowel movements and sexual function as well as regaining the ability to walk in some. This is a case of the nose knowing a great deal more than we thought. Scientists describe the procedure as straightforward, the nasal tissue is hard tissue and needs only be implanted in such a way that it will never be exposed again and then it goes to work. Stem cell research is often controversial in America. I am sad to say this procedure does not exist in the United States and only one American has recieved the procedure in Lisbon, Portugal. I hope for a day when the political climate changes enough for us to take the lead on such promising research.
