I dreamt again last night of walking and doing normal activities. Was hard to wake up and find that I can't.

Files to Conduct Neural Stem Cell Trial in Chronic Spinal Cord Injury PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov 15, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) --StemCells, Inc. (Nasdaq:STEM) announced today that is has filed an application with Swissmedic, the Swiss regulatory agency for therapeutic products, to conduct a clinical trial in Switzerland of the Company's HuCNS-SC(R) purified human neural stem cells in chronic spinal cord injury patients. If authorized, the study would enroll patients who are three to 12 months post-injury."With this filing we have taken a tangible step to broaden the clinical development of our HuCNS-SC product candidate beyond the brain and into the spinal cord," said Martin McGlynn, President and CEO of StemCells, Inc. "This exciting initiative is supported by extensive preclinical research demonstrating the ability of our proprietary cells to restore lost motor function when transplanted in the chronic spinal cord injury setting. The prospect of extending the treatment window to months or longer following injury would mean that a much larger population of injured patients could potentially benefit from such an approach."
