“Since my last post my left and right eye are now at around 5 meters!! Big difference from 1 meter??!! I notice a lot more little things like I could see the goal posts at a match last week and every day things.”

From the Blog of Valerie Dolan, Optic Nerve Atrophy Stem Cell Patient

We were excited to read today's news from Valerie about her progress since receiving stem cell therapy. Her story of vision loss was scary to say the least. Getting some of it back must be wonderful. 

This week we're bringing you a video about an Indonesian patient treated for Spinal Muscular Atrophy III. SMA III is the least aggressive type of SMA but Nirma, at 30, is nearly confined to a wheelchair now. In this short video she talks about her specific condition and the improvements she saw in China receiving adult stem cell therapy. You can also check out our SMA II video following two patients.
