A three-year-old British girl has taken part in the first-ever trial to treat cerebral palsy with stem cells collected from the umbilical cord and stored at birth.Doctors at Duke University in North Carolina, USA, conducted the trial a year ago, but now the parents of Sasha Browne, Tania and Richard Browne, who live in Dubai, say they are seeing improvements in her walking ability, motor skills and signs of improvement in vision and cognitive ability.
Several UK newspapers have reported the story. The treatment involved umbilical cord stem cells collected and stored by Smart Cells International.
