Searching for a Spina Bifida Cure Part 1 – The Promise of Stem Cells

Searching for a Spina Bifida Cure Part 1 - The Promise of Stem Cells

The first ever in utero stem cell treatment for spina bifida is the culmination of decades of work from UC Davis surgeon-scientist Diana Farmer. This novel fetal surgery at UC Davis Children’s Hospital could change the life of a developing baby with spina bifida, who otherwise could be born paralyzed from the waist down. In […]
