I wonder if stem cell therapy could help with the severe post stroke pain some get due to wildly contracting muscles?

It would seem that those damaged cells causing the problem would still there, whereas giving movement back is essentially replacing dead cells.

These are ADULT Stem Cells, NOT Embryonic Stem Cells.

There are three ways you can tell:

1-The results showed some medical potential. (ESCs NEVER do)
2-They didn’t mention the fact they used Adult Stem Cells, to leave the impression it “could be” ESCs showing positive results.
3-The story didn’t headline the NYT and the MSM for a month, which it would have if it were ESCs.
