"The patient was in a vegetative state when she was first admitted to hospital and received cell therapy as a last resort."
...she is now ready to attend school.
These results need to be replicated in additional patients, however initial results look extremely compelling.
🧠Autoimmune Encephalities today:
1) Breakthrough study elucidates molecular pathway
2) Stem-cell treatment pioneered
3) Dog🐶diagnosed with the disorder
