InstagramHoward G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Cell Transplants To Regenerate Broken Spinal Cord UC-San Diego neurosurgeons now report in the journal Cell Reports Medicine the successful transplantation and long-term viability of neural stem cells placed in damaged spinal cord tissue. This Phase I study involved 4 subjects with spinal cord injuries in their upper spinal cords underwent transplantation of neural stem cells from the NSI-566 cell line. The transplanted cells were well-tolerated. Two of the four patients demonstrated improvement in their motor and sensory capabilities though not all improvement was sustained. This is the first step in using stem cells to regenerate healthy spinal cord tissue. It shows that these helper cells can remain viable and begin to repair devastating spinal cord damage. We can only hope that additional and sustained progress with this treatment approach occurs….someday soon. https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-medicine/fulltext/S2666-3791(24)00612-8?_returnURL=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S2666379124006128?showall=true #spinalcord #injury #stemcell #repair #neurosurgery"0 likes, 0 comments - drhowardsmithreports on January 9, 2025: "Cell Transplants To Regenerate Broken Spinal Cord UC-San Diego neurosurgeons now report in the journal Cell Reports Medicine the successful transplantation and long-term viability of neural stem cells placed in damaged spinal cord tissue.

I'm excited to share that my first research paper, "Neurosurgical Presentations of Osteomalacia: An Analysis of 100 Cases," is now live as a preprint! 📄🔍
