Paralyzed woman walks again after stem cell therapy

quote:
A South Korean woman paralyzed for 20 years is walking again after scientists say they repaired her damaged spine using stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood.
[...]
Last week her eyes glistened with tears as she walked again with the help of a walking frame at a press conference where South Korea researchers went public for the first time with the results of their stem-cell therapy.


I don't know how much truth there is to this because less developed countries are frequently the source of outlandish false claims for publicity purposes, but if this is true then it's fantastic news!
