Summary
This study tests if stem cells taken from a patient's own belly fat and injected into the spine can safely help restore movement and feeling after a spinal cord injury. About 40 adults with paralysis will receive the treatment. The goal is to see if this approach can improve function, but it is not expected to be a complete cure.
