A member asked:
How might fat cells be able to help people with spinal cord injuries?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Still researching: There is a possibility that fat cells may be able to stimulate regeneration of damaged nerve cells. This research, however, is still in its infancy, and is not ready for clinical use. Several academic centers are doing basic laboratory research to see if this may be a potential treatment option.
