Surgeons at Tokyo’s Keio University want to study whether induced pluripotent stem cells can be used to treat the injuries.They can then be prompted to mature into different kinds of cells, with the Keio University study using iPS-derived cells of the neural stem. “This is definitely a huge step forward,” Masaya Nakamura, a Keio University professor who heads the research, told reporters.The initial stage of the study aims to confirm the safety of the transplant method, the researchers said.

The team also hopes to see whether the stem cell implants will improve neurological function and quality of life.
