Sei feti con spina bifida hanno ricevuto un cerotto di cellule staminali ancora prima di nascere. Il trial CuRe della UC Davis, pubblicato su Lancet, conferma: รจ sicuro, nessun tumore, nessuna complicanza. Uno di quei bambini oggi ha 4 anni, cammina e corre. Fase 1 superata! รˆ una bella notizia: ora si parte con la Fase 2 e 35 pazienti. "Eppur si muove", la spina bifida ha gli anni contati?

The ultrasound room. Itโ€™s supposed to be full of joy, isn't it? Seeing those first fuzzy images of your little one. But sometimes, the quiet in the room gets a bit too heavy. #brainmalformations #cephalicdisorders #congenitaldisorders #fetaldevelopment #microcephaly #neuraltubedefects #spinabifida

"Our research identifies specific steps in embryogenesis that contribute to spina bifida," said senior study author Dr. Joseph Gleeson, a professor at Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine and the University of California, San Diego. "This is a major step forward in understanding why this condition occurs and how we might one day prevent it."

Emberโ€™s MRI

Earlier this week, we took Ember for some medical appointments in Forth Worth as part of her routine follow-ups after being diagnosed with Spina Bifida.

A highlight of the trip is seeing the photos of Emberโ€™s MRI as the Neurologist scrolls through. Most of the time, they look like something that I would expect. But, every now and then, something really creepy pops up and thatโ€™s the fun part.

Hereโ€™s a photo that I got of the monitor:
