Stem Cell Therapy for Cerebral Palsy – Holly Catalano

Holly is now able to crawl and sit up on her own just 7 weeks after her second treatment for cerebral palsy at the Stem Cell Institute in Panama City, Panama. Her physical therapist now says that Holly will walk without braces or a walker and her neurologist was very impressed by her overall decrease in tone since her return from Panama.

University of Melbourne announce Stem Cells Discovery

Researchers have completed the study by using skin biopsies from patients with the rare genetic disease Friedreich Ataxia (FA). The discovery will allow for the development of new treatments for FA and related conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
