Default Cell transplant enables dogs to walk again

Scientists have reversed paralysis in dogs after injecting them with cells
grown from the lining of their nose.

The pets had all suffered spinal injuries which prevented them from using
their back legs.

The Cambridge University team is cautiously optimistic the technique could
eventually have a role in the treatment of human patients.

The study is the first to test the transplant in "real-life" injuries
rather than laboratory animals.
