“It involves injecting the spinal canal with cells taken from the umbilical cords of healthy babies. The cells are then used to rebuild the optic nerves.”

The little girl is walking, talking and holding on to objects better as well. Awesome!

What are we doing here in the states regarding umbilical cord blood treatments?

I tried to donate our umbilical cords when our daughters were born but our hospitals didn’t participate in the collection (not many do), so...not much?

Nothing of course, which is why we ar falling behind; the Chinese are now on top of this and likely their scientists will be the ones getting the Nobel Prizes.

That is one of our leading areas in successful treatments and promising research. It is also where most of the private funding is being invested.
