Find out about new research to fix nerve damage in spinal cord injury using stem cells (AST-OPC1). This research is being performed by Asterias Biotherapeutics and has shown promising results in clinical trials.

This video was produced in collaboration with Americans For Cures and explains how stem cell research, funded by California’s Proposition 71: the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative, is leading to groundbreaking advances in spinal cord injury.

This video was produced as part of the Americans for Cures Foundation’s Report Back to the Public program. For more information about stem cells, check out the new Americans for Cures website,  Facebook, YouTube, or Twitter accounts.
