LONDON, Oct 24 — A man, paralyzed after being attacked with a knife, is able to walk again thanks to adult stem cell research.

A team of scientists from the UK and Poland managed to take cells from the patient’s nose and ankle and repair the damaged cells in his spine.

The professor who led the research, Geoff Raisman, explains how it was done.
