The first FDA study of stem cell research is under way and offers the potential promise of restore sensation and mobility for spinal cord injury (SCI) have been victims, the injury in motor vehicle accidents, construction accidents, and other serious accidents.

A trial is currently in place, to determine whether the infusion made from human embryonic stem cells is restored sensation or mobility of millions of cells in a patient who suffered a serious spinal cord injury (SCI). The current experiment began in July 2010 when he pharmaceutical company Geron received FDA approval, the Menlo Park, California, which is sponsoring the study, to carry out the experiment.

The FDA approved the company to test the stem cell treatment on 10 patients. The procedure involves infusion of about 2 million "oligodendrocyte" surgeons progenitor cells that were created in the laboratory from embryonic stem cells.

The company hopes that the cells a restorative sheath around the spinal cord, with SCI create victims to recover their limbs can use lost and impaired sensation. There were hundreds of similar practices in rats that have succeeded in restoring of mobility in partially paralyzed rats.

The test study restorative ability of stem cells is carried out on those having suffered the severe traumatic spinal cord injury. Timothy Atchison, nursing 21-year-old student from Alabama, suffered a severe spinal cord injury a car collision. While it is too early to determine whether the procedure will be similar results to allow in studies where, yield, rats can the procedure one day, the serious spinal cord injury, the ability to go back suffer.

Despite the potential benefits of the current research is the experiment not without critics. Critics fall into two different groups, including those who have moral objections to the procedure have and those who generally support are stem-cell research but worried that human experimentation is premature. Some critics against stem cell research on moral grounds, because harvesting stem cells involves the destruction of embryos.

Critics who support research on stem cells in General ensure that it is too early for this research. These critics believe that the procedure ineffective or lead to a negative result, such as the development of a tumor that used can be of that, to future stem cells to prevent could experiments. There are also concerns about the use of therapy on spinal cord injury, because victims of such violations often significantly improve without such treatment can complicate the evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy.
