Summary:
A man with completely severed spinal cord has returned to walk after a pioneering treatment performed in Wroclaw, in which a team of Polish and British doctors grafted cells from the patient's nose on his back. He said that doctors told him that he won't can walk again and now, it´s like to born again. He feel his legs, he can feel cold and warm... and he thinks that he will can drive again.
Scientists think that they need to try it with more patients to confirm that it works good for all the people but this is an incredible discover.
Critical Appraisal:
I think that this is the most incredible notice that I had seen ever. Science progress so much and so fast. I also think that this will be the most incredible discover in so much time. I'm really surprised because I thought that this will be impossible but, one more time, science have surprised me.
Glossary:
Spinal cord: is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that extends from the medulla oblongata in the brainstem.
