Dr. Freda Miller, Senior Scientist at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children and one of the leading scientists of Aggregate Therapeutics Inc. was featured in a news article in the Toronto Star yesterday.
The article related recent experiments using skin-derived stem cells to repair spinal cord injuries in rats. Following administration of the cells, the rats ability to walk improved significantly.
Dr. Miller’s groundbreaking work raises the possibility that, one day, patients with CNS injuries may be treated with stem cells derived from their own skin.
