Scientists at Yale think cells from bone marrow might hold promise for repairing nerve cells damaged by spinal cord injuries and diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

While the research is in its infancy and the technique faces huge biological and practical obstacles, the first safety testing in humans could begin within a year.

"The beauty of the potential use of bone marrow is you don't have to go into the brain to remove nerve (stem) cells," said Dr. Jeffery Kocsis, associate director of the Neuroscience and Regeneration ...
