@FPF: I'll take "Why did the FDA require a stem cell safety study? for $200 dollars...![]()
What do I think... Yes. I think the human slides showing regeneration Trump animal studies looking to confirm the same thing. Now I am questioning if 'mere' spinal cord regeneration alone correlates to functional recovery without a rehab factor... That is slowly becoming a question for me now that wise Apparently already thought of

No imaging technology available today is powerful enough to show spinal tracts in humans.
But if you think the images of "some white matter" give you evidence of regenerated tracts then why isn't this all over the news? Especially when animal studies showing non-functional regeneration of spinal tracts get front page news! Do you not ever wonder this?
I am not going to give you answer but I am sure you can read between the lines - I hope.
I "conveniently" left it out of my mind or honestly wasn't aware that no imaging technology is powerful enough to show 'spinal tracts' in humans. I am admittedly a novice on the highly technical jargon. When I read that "fiber bundles" are growing, I don't know the difference between that and "spinal tracts"... Please school me (not being sarcastic)

Is this what you are talking about? (Note: this image has nothing to do with/nor any association to Wise Young and or this UCBMC study. Just something I found on the web)

Here is Jerry Silver's post re DTI being able to show regeneration:

And here is Wise Young's response:

We are submitting a manuscript reporting our study of 8 spinal-injured subjects before and after umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell transplants, 8 normal subjects, and several untreated complete and incomplete spinal cord injury, correlating the DTI findings with neurological examinations. The best time for this discussion would be after we have submitted the work for publication although I would be very happy to share the data with you privately. Based on the data, I believe that MR DTI will be very useful for detecting white matter regrowth chronic spinal cord injury. I obviously cannot talk about this data in a public forum until it has been accepted in a peer-review journal.

Maybe Jim has access to this manuscript now as 5 years have passed since that post?
