Citizen Link relates the story of Jack Rabon, a young girl who was treated by Dr. Carlos Lima in Portugal for a spinal cord injury (more on Lima's research):

"I was in a car accident about three years ago," she said. "I became a paraplegic, and the doctors had told me I would never ever be able to walk again. I went to Lisbon, Portugal, to have an adult stem-cell surgery done in October. It's more than six months since I had the surgery. I have increased feeling in my hip muscles, and they have allowed me to walk again. I have leg braces I use to walk, and I walk with a walker and on parallel bars."
